    Thumbs up

    Cam,

    I think 'Porsche 911 in Racing' is THE most comprehensive text on 911 racing I own (I got lots of Porsche books) It's organized in a complete chronology from '64 through '05, with chapters on rallying, racing in the USA, Le Mans, and on. It has wonderful pictures you've never seen before, and GREAT text. I've been savoring every page, and reading it in between other reads. I'm at page 261 of 366.... It's the racing book I recommend the most of all.......

    Gee, I guess I like it.....

    I have many of Ulrich Upietz's books (GT1 series, 956/962, Porsche in Le Mans, Porsche Sport...) and I have had a problem with the bundled pages tearing away in the binding with just about all of them.

    I can't complain about the content and layout of his books. These are usually top notch.
