Norma, Les Creations De Norbert Santos Vol.2

Product description

This second volume on the creations of the Saint-Pé-de-Bigorre builder, Norbert Santos, is the natural continuation of what is treated in volume 1. This time we talk about the M200P, the only LM P2 ever built according to the rules of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest. Much space is dedicated to the series created by Eric Van de Vyver, competitions that between 2004 and 2018 saw as protagonists the M20, M20 F, M20 FC and M30, making Norma famous. There is also talk of the French FFSA Circuit Cup, the TTE and Free Racing series that have taken the place of the VdeV and the birth of the Belgian Belcar Endurance Championship. The end of the 20th century was also marked by the arrival of the M30, the first Norma prototype in 17 years, which would compete in the Road To Le Mans, the Michelin Le Mans Cup, the European Le Mans Series and overseas in the IMSA Prototype Challenge series, demonstrating Norbert Santos’ ability to develop a competitive car based on the latest techniques. Naturally, Norma is not lacking in hillclimbing in France, in Europe and in the world. The titles of Sébastien Petit and Geoffrey Schatz, Simone Faggioli’s success in the FIA European Championship and his extraordinary adventure at Pikes Peak in 2018 are extensively covered both in the texts and in the images. And after the sale of the Norma brand to the Duqueine group at the end of 2017, Norbert Santos looks with interest at the projects of Guillem Roux, at his side since 2003, and of his daughter, Camille Santos-Gautré, within the new company Nova Proto which has resumed the activity of the Norma CN prototypes, concurrently with the launch of new Nova Proto cars. Also available Volume 1.
