In 1961 when Cars at Speed first appeared, it established Robert Daley, then working for The New York Times, as the sport’s foremost chronicler of the day. Now this classic reappears, with a new introduction by the author, but otherwise unchanged. (from the flyleaf of Cars at Speed)

Cars at Speed tells the story of 1950s Grand Prix and sports car racing, circuit by circuit throughout those years. The drivers were more sportsmen than professionals. Many were playboys. Some had titles: a count, a marquis, now and then a prince. No one earned millions. Some front-line drivers barely got by. They raced on public roads closed for the afternoon. Death and injury often found them.

We have available 50 copies of this new version of Cars at Speed, each signed by author Robert Daley. Our photographer Robert Daley began his career as a best-selling author with Cars at Speed and then The Cruel Sport which then led him to some 20 subsequent books, including Prince of The City, A Faint Cold Fear, Year of The Dragon, Portraits of France, and, more recently, The Enemy of God.
