This enlarged English edition also includes new interviews with Max Mosley, Robin Herd, Bobby Clark and text by Eddie Dennis (not in the Swedish edition).
Back in the 70s, when a higher priority was placed on having big bushy sideburns than on maintaining racing safety, one of the most luminous stars on the racing scene was a Swede - Ronnie Peterson. His racing achievements remain unparalleled to this day in Swedish motor sport history. During the years 1970 through 1978, Ronnie Peterson competed in 123 Formula 1 races, and won on 10 occasions. He also competed in other classes during the same period, and very successfully, too - winning the 1971 European F2 Championship and taking home the World Sports Car Championship for Ferrari in 1972.
This new Ronnie Peterson book is full of new interviews, recollections and pictures of people who in one way or another were a part of Ronnie Peterson's successful racing career, either on the sidelines or wheel to wheel. Tommy Peterson treats us to some early episodes in his brother's life and several of Ronnie's friends and associates from the F1 circuit share some more personal memories than have ever been published before. Emerson Fittipaldi, Mario Andretti, Sir Jackie Stewart, Max Mosley, Robin Herd, Kenny Bräck, Reine Wisell, Eje Elgh, Alan Henry and Fredrik af Petersens are some of the 47 contributors. And don't miss out on the fantastic story about when Ronnie lapped two, very surprised, drivers while going backwards!
This volume also includes a comprehensive list of Ronnie Peterson's racing results along with numerous unique pictures and a brief biography.
Enjoy!
