Karl Ludvigsen's Fast Friends — Stars and Heroes in the World of Cars

by Karl Ludvigsen

Karl Ludvigsen, born in 1934 in the USA and one of the greats in automobile history, opens his archives. In more than 50 years as a motor journalist, writer of books and automobile historian he accumulated comprehensive knowledge and met all the prominent figures of the automobile‘s golden age. In this book we meet Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart, Juan Manuel Fangio, Bruce McLaren, Emerson Fittipaldi, Dan Gurney and many more. A look in „Ludvigsens rear-view mirror“ takes us back to times, when cars definitely had combustion engines, when motor races were life and death struggles and groundbreaking successes were made in the fields of safety, design and technology.
