Recently published in the UK by Carlton Books in hardback is "Passion For Speed: Twenty Four classic cars that shaped a century of motor sport" by Nick Mason and Mark Hales. It is the new, expanded edition of the ground-breaking and critically acclaimed book "Into the Red". Passion For Speed puts you behind the wheel of some of the world's greatest ever sports and racing cars.
