Book excerpt: Juan Manuel Fangio's name is indelibly inscribed in the record books and many consider him to be the greatest driver in history. It was 46 years before his record of five World Championships was beaten, but even now he is still remembered for an exceptional Formula 1 career which contained some of the greatest displays of skill and daring ever seen. Few though know of his almost super-human exploits in epic South American road races that made competition at the pinnacle of motor sport seem like child's play. Gerald Donaldson chronicles not only those arduous early competitions but also his long journey from humble origins in remote Argentina to the lofty heights of international celebrity.

Book excerpt: Karl Ludvigsen's careers as an auto industry insider and motorsport journalist gave him rare access to auto racing's greatest drivers. In this series of lavish coffee-table treatments from Haynes Publishing, the author offers race fans insightful biographies, rare anecdotes, and a wealth of archival color and black-and-white photography detailing motor racing's all-time greats. Beginning with the legendary Argentinian's early car-building days, Ludvigsen examines Fangio's F1 strut at Alfa Romeo, where he won his first world championship in 1951 at age 40; his dramatic success with Maserati in 1953, as well as his victory at Carrera Pan-Americana; his ensuing F1 world championships with Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari; his epic battles with Stirling Moss; and his ill-starred appearance in the Indianapolis 500. Also discussed are Fangio's 1958 kidnapping in Havana.
