Argentina F1 Grand Prix Vol.1 1953

Product description

This very nice little book is mainly composed of previously unseen pictures of the 1953 Argentina F1 Grand Prix and is the first of the series which should feature the Argentina GP through the time. See how Behra, Trintignant, Farina and Fangio battled for the victory. In the end, Alberto Ascari took the win after almost 3 hours of race. As a populist decision, it was decided not to collect any fee at the entrance of the circuit. Thus thousands of people came to see the race, which created a very unique atmosphere on the circuit, but also led to deadly accidents. Together with the Argentina Grand Prix, the book also covers the Ciudad de Buenos Aires Grand Prix, a race held two weeks after the F1 GP featuring the big names of F1 who could compete against the Argentinian home drivers.
