| For 30 years some of the most talented and bravest drivers have battled across the continents of the world to claim what is arguably motorsport's toughest prize: the World Rally Championship. Now a multi-million dollar, global technology battle and terrestrial television phenomenon played out over the frozen wastes of Finland, the dusty plains of Australia and the sun-kissed mountain roads of Corsica, the WRC has reached its 30th birthday. This book celebrates that important milestone and paints an exhaustively detailed picture of the people and personalities who have shaped this great sport. The Complete Book of the World Rally Champions provides a biographical account of the 65 men who have won at least one World Championship Rally since 1973. The biographies are compiled by the sport's leading writers and historians and complemented by stunning photography. The book includes a detailed and accurate statistical career record of each driver, plus highlights of all the significant cars. |

 Kind of Dull, March 29, 2008 |

Pros: Great for stats, A decent amount of good pictures. Coverage of older rally cars, drivers, etc... that you would be hard pressed to find anywhere. That alone is probably the value of the book. The focus on drivers is a great idea.
Cons: So general, it will never please you are looking into a particular rally subject. Too much talk and pictures of fans.
Overall: Unless you are a die hard rally fan, this book probably wouldn't appeal to you much

 Awesome! Davenport and Frost hit home!, December 28, 2007 |

Never since reading Reinhard Klein's Rally Cars have I received so much information on the WRC, expecially as how the authors have traced it chronologically. The writing is excellent, the photos magnificent works of art, and in addition to the Cars the feature on the Drivers and their records makes this a keepsake for any rally enthusiast! Well worth the investment!
