Inside IMSA's Legendary GTP Race Cars

From 1981 until 1993, the world's fastest racing cars competed at North America's most iconic tracks. Names like Lola, Jaguar, Porsche, and BMW intermingled with those of Daytona, Riverside, Laguna Seca, and Lime Rock to create all-out, no-holds-barred competition not just between the cars on the tracks, but between the engineers in their shops. This is the story of the coolest race series of all time, in which notions of parity were tossed aside and designers were challenged to come up with whatever combination of engine, chassis, and body they thought would get around a racetrack fastest. V-12 versus inline-4 versus boxer-6; naturally aspriated versus turbocharged; twin-tier wings, air dams, ground tunnels -- Inside IMSA's Legendary GTP Race Cars: The Prototype Experiencetells the story of 14 amazing machines that came out of this flat-out competition. Using photography, diagrams, drawings and first-person accounts from the men who built and raced the cars, it's a detailed look at the technology that created the world's most exciting race cars, the likes of which might never be seen again.Fuller, Michael J. is the author of 'Inside IMSA's Legendary GTP Race Cars', published 2008 under ISBN 9780760330692 and ISBN 0760330697.
