Alpine Trials & Rallies
By Martin Pfudner
As a predecessor to the modern international rally, the Alpine Rallies of 1910 and onwards were a true test of endurance for early racers and their cars. As the years went by, the event spread to other countries and took on an even more international flare. This book, written by a seven-time Alpine Rally competitor, takes a focused look at the history of this famed event from 1910-1973. 80-pages of narrative text are mixed with 90 black and white photos to tell the story era by era, including a section devoted to results and statistics. Available for $24.95 (£12.99) from the publisher Veloce Press at www.veloce.co.uk or Motorbooks International at (800) 458-0454, www.motorbooks.com.
