Epic. The races were epic, the drivers were epic, the tracks were epic. These books are epic! In, “Time and Two Seats, Five Decades of Long Distance Racing,” racing historian Janos Wimpffen has done the seemingly impossible – captured the complete and unabridged history of the FIA Sports Car Championship from its inception in 1953 through the 1998 season. Spanning two volumes and some 2300 pages, this magnum opus includes: a complete chronology of the development of the sports racing car; complete results of each and every event from the hundreds of entries in the Mille Miglia to the many obscure rounds of the Grand Touring Cups of the 1960s; chassis numbers of most entries; diagrams of each circuit, including variations; annual statistical summaries, plus a comprehensive appendix of all marques and drivers.
