F40 COMPETIZIONE - L'AVVENTURA AMERICANA DELLA FERRARI F40 (CON CUSTODIA)
THE FERRARI F40'S AMERICAN ADVENTURE (WITH SLIPCASE)
Authored by Francesco Calzavara, this book provides an intimate and highly detailed account of an unforgettable chapter in the racing history of the Prancing Horse. Spanning the pivotal years of 1989 and 1990, the renowned Padua-based Michelotto racing team crossed the Atlantic to take on a monumental challenge.
Their ambitious goal was to field the legendary Ferrari F40 on the demanding and unforgiving circuits of the North American IMSA (International Motor Sports Association) championship, backed by the crucial and strategic support of Ferrari France.
However, the narrative goes far beyond simple motorsport reporting and technical data. The author, who experienced this epic journey firsthand as an active member of the team, elevates the story of a racing campaign into a profound and touching human experience.
What might have seemed like a mere sporting challenge transformed into a unique human experience, filled with passion, sacrifice, friendships, and nights spent in workshops and airports.
Ultimately, this work serves as an intimate and unrepeatable logbook of a bygone era in motorsport. The text is heavily enriched with a wealth of historical and visual materials, including authentic firsthand memories, highly rare photographs, and previously unpublished archival documents.
194 pages. Text in Italian and English. Edition with slipcase.
An admirable and important note is that all proceeds from the sales of this book are generously donated by the author to support the charitable work of the Suore Rosarie di Udine.
