Car Racing 1971 stands as a significant continuation of the legacy established by the six preceding volumes of the Car Racing series (1965 to 1970). Through meticulously sourced materials from the archives of the DPPI photographic agency, this volume provides, for the designated year, an unparalleled insight into the essence of 1970s motorsport. Founded in 1965 by photographers captivated by the intensity of racing and the skill of drivers, DPPI has consistently positioned itself at the forefront of motorsport events. This direct association has resulted in remarkable action images, which are increasingly rare in contemporary publications. "This is not merely another book chronicling motorsport history," asserts DPPI director Fabrice Connen. "We prioritized capturing the most compelling and distinctive images that authentically reflect the era, regardless of whether they were taken at prominent events or featured lesser-known competitors."
