Unraced - Formula One's Lost Cars

By: S. S. Collins . 2nd hand book in very good condition

Formula 1, the worlds most popular motor sport, from a totally new perspective … Hidden in workshops around the world lie forgotten and abandoned machines – unfulfilled.

These purpose built cars have never started a race, never felt the excitement of a grand prix. Yet they define an era of Formula One, changing the landscape. Unraced tell the stories of nine grand prix cars that never started. An exciting and fresh look at F1 from the Author of Autodrome. The Unraced are largely forgotten or overlooked but the stories they have to tell reveal more about the sport than any championship winner, and or the first time these stories are told in a refreshing style, backed up with 150 photos, any never published before.

The book covers Honda RC100/RC1.5x (1993-1995), Lola T95/30 (1995), DAMS GD-01 (1995), Honda RC2x (1995-1996), Dome F105 (1996), Lola T97/30 (1997), Honda RA099 (1999), Premier1 prototype (2001), McLaren MP4/18 (2003) and also includes a listing of all F1 projects (raced & unraced) from 1995 – 2005.
