"Since racing began, the Italians have been passionately involved with designing, building and racing motor cars in their adopted national colour of brilliant red. Famous marques such as Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Lancia and Ferrari, all illustrate the beauty and appeal of these exotic machines as driven by racing heroes Nuvolari, Fangio, Ascari, Hawthorn, Collins, Lauda Scheckter and Stirling Moss. Now you can relive the excitement and mystique of these glorious machines and drivers from the era before the cars were covered in commercial sponsorship. Rare archive from the start of the century to the mid Seventies complements modern day footage so you can fully appreciate many great motoring sights and sounds. On-board cameras also let you experience the thrill of driving a Ferrari or Maserati to the limit." --from page 4 of cover.
