Against All the Others: Porsche's Racing History, Volume 3 - 1970, records the year's accomplishments, including the Typ 917's transformation from racetrack wild card to World Champion. It earned the trust of its drivers while it continued to intimidate the competition. Its aerodynamics and road holding improved beyond expectations, allowing steely-eyed drivers Vic Elford and Rolf Stommelen to take the Mulsanne Straight kink flat out at 380 km/h, 235 mph. Porsche's Typ 908 family added the potent 908/03 Spyder, a winner almost from its first outing. The 914/6s achieved success in rallies and endurance contests. The 911s retained their international GT titles, even as the FIA eliminated them from the SCCA Trans-Am series and the British Touring Car Championship.
Volume 3 continues the highly detailed examination of engineering development, and racing venues and series through 128 individual competition and testing reports from drivers, engineers, mechanics, managers, and outside observers in their own words. These and hundreds of photos provide perspective into 1970's battles on front-straights and in back rooms that brought Porsche its second World Manufacturer's Championship and first Le Mans triumph.

When Enzo Ferrari was born in 1898, automobiles were still a novelty in his native Italy. When he died ninety years later, the company he built stood at the top of a global industry, with the Ferrari name universally recognized for performance, racing prowess, and state-of-the-art Italian design. Enzo Ferrari: Power, Politics, and the Making of an Automotive Empire is the definitive account of an epic life.
Drawing on years of original research conducted in Italy and abroad, author (and Ferrari insider) Luca Dal Monte uncovers a wealth of new facts about Enzo's origins, ambitions, business practices, and private life. The book revisits all the highlights of Ferrari's rise to greatness: his driving career in the 1920s; his management of racing teams for Alfa Romeo in the 1930s; the launch of his own company and team in the late 1940s, and his unprecedented successes building cars for the road and race track in the following decades. But the book also examines lesser-known and sometimes hidden aspects of Ferrari's career, from his earliest failed business ventures to his political dealings with Italy's Fascist government, Allied occupiers, and even Communist leaders. And it lays bare the internal politics of the Ferrari company and team, whose leader manipulated employees, drivers, competitors and the media with a volatile mixture of brute force, paranoia, and guile.
Accompanying the in-depth text are extensive endnotes along with a full bibliography and index. The book is illustrated with four separate sections of photos, exhibits, and artefacts, and opens with a foreword by former Ferrari president Luca Di Montezemolo, who previously served as the company's Formula One team manager.
This is truly the definitive biography of Enzo Ferrari, one that makes previous accounts obsolete. Its depth, scale, and detail make it essential reading for automotive and motorsports enthusiasts. But other readers will be drawn to a sweeping story of Italian life, business, and culture during the 20th century.
“The Enzo Ferrari I knew as boss, friend, and opponent returns vividly to life in these pages, along with a wealth of new facts and details I never could have imagined.”
—Mario Andretti
“(Enzo Ferrari) stands as the definitive biography of one of the Automobile Age’s most memorable men.”
—The New York Times
Milan’s leading daily newspaper, Il Giornale, praised the 968 page book for its ease of reading, saying that “Enzo Ferrari” reads like a novel.

This Publisher’s Edition is limited to 150 signed and numbered copies and comes in a custom slipcase. It is signed by the following individuals:

Lee Dykstra: Kar Kraft Trans Am Mustang Project Engineer.

A decade ago, when Shelby Mustang GT350: My Years Designing, Testing and Racing Carroll’s Legendary Mustangs, was released, it was lauded as the most authoritative and comprehensive book yet written on the subject. Now, David Bull Publishing is proud to announce Shelby’s Racing Mustangs: My Years Inside Carroll’s Mustang Racing Teams, a freshened, updated and revised look at Shelby’s pony cars on the track. But while it would be easy to think that the new work is simply a retitled reprint, nothing could be further from the truth.
This new book contains 336 pages (100+ more than the original book) with most of the new pages devoted to a more detailed telling of Chuck’s years with the Shelby race teams, particularly the Trans-Am Mustang sedans, or “notchbacks.” The authors have sourced more than 125 brand-new photographs, most in color and most from private collections which have never before been seen in print. Most of these spectacular images come from insiders themselves — drivers, team mechanics, engineers, and race mechanics and SCCA track officials — all of whom had an all-access pass to the inner workings of the exciting world of 1960s sports car racing. Complementing these new images are those that appeared only in Shelby Mustang GT350’s special Publisher’s Edition.
But this new edition is about more than just the pictures (345 of them, in color and black and white and nearly double the number appearing in Shelby Mustang GT350). Complementing the treasure trove of images, the text contains new information sourced from letters, memos, race team managers’ personal notes, recollections from drivers, fabricators and race mechanics. Contemporaneous, hand-drawn sketches — thought for certain by the authors to have been lost forever — have been located and appear in the book. This results in a level of detail significantly greater than in the older book. In general terms, whereas Shelby Mustang GT350 concentrated on how that iconic muscle car came to life, Shelby’s Racing Mustangs concentrates more on how the GT350 and, especially, the hardtop Mustangs, performed on the track. Of course, Chuck’s involvement in the creation of Shelby’s iconic street machines hasn’t been left out.
Throughout his life, Chuck has maintained that “when you find something that works, stick with it,” so readers of the earlier book will recognize some familiar passages and anecdotes, intermingled with fresh text and photos. Wrapping up this package is a concise index and two detailed appendices allowing for the book to be read either cover-to-cover as a fascinating novel or used as a “lookup-the-stats” reference book. To sum it all up, Shelby’s Racing Mustangs is the must-read for both the casual motorsports fan as well as the hard-core Shelby Mustang or Trans-Am racing enthusiast. It will entertain, educate, enlighten, and not disappoint.
