Suomalainen formulahistoria : Midgeteistä moderniin aikaan 1947-1989 = Finnish Formula History : From Midgets Into Modern Times 1947-1989
93: Scuderia Naftalin, 2013. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Text in English and Finnish. 463 pp.
Do you know what a Midget is - and what's the connection to the Finnish Formula History? Did you know, in the first place, that such a thing exists - isn't Finland covered with snow all-year-long? Do polar bears arrange races with openwheelers? And how is it possible to build tracks close to the Arctic Circle? And has anybody ever heard of a race car built in Finland?
How is it possible that a country with only five million inhabitants has managed to raise several world-class GP stars, World Champions and a whole crowd of other enthusiasts - not only for rallies and ice races but for various single-seater Formula classes as well? Read this book and you'll find out - at least some of the facts, buried between the lines of endless trivia. Frank Williams, Jim Clark, James Hunt, Jack Brabham, Jochen Rindt, Curt Lincoln, Keke Rosberg, Mika Häkkinen - all have at least one thing in common, they have been racing in Finland and you'll find some of their stories in this book. And if you don't fancy reading about Formula Junior races at Aimänrautio (or other really important matters), we have included more than 1000 photos in the book, for your eyes only. Near Fine.
