Passion for Speed — incl. CD of engine and track sounds

by Nick Mason and Mark Hales

This book puts you behind the wheel of the greatest ever sports and racing cars. Nick Mason of Pink Floyd has been acquiring and racing cars for nearly 40 years. With test driver Mark Hales, he has given the pick of his cars a no-holds-barred workout at Silverstone, Donington and Anglesey to find out how they compare under pressure. Feel the force of a Le Mans Porsche. Relish the challenge of a 1920s Bugatti. Savour the elegant performance of the Ferrari 250GTO. With specially commissioned photographs of every car, and even a CD unleashing the power and glory of their engine sounds, "Passion For Speed" is the next best thing to being in the driving seat.

First published in 1998 (into the red / Bis ans Limit), a revised edition of Passion For Speed was produced in 2004 to include Nick's phenomenal 240mph racing McLaren F1 GTR, and this new edition of the book features two more new cars. First is the mighty Ferrari Enzo, less than 400 of which were ever made, with all of the original production run being snapped up before a finished car was ever built. Nick's car, driven by "The Stig" held BBC TV's Top Gear lap record. The other new car is Nick's Alfa Romeo TZ1 dating from 1964.
