Winner of the Motor Press Guild Best Book of the Year Award & Dean Batchelor Award for Excellence in Automotive JournalismFor fans of The Boys in the Boat and In the Garden of Beasts, a pulsepounding tale of triumph by an improbable team of upstarts over Hitlers fearsome Silver Arrows during the golden age of auto racing.They were the unlikeliest of heroes. Rene Dreyfus, a former top driver on the international racecar circuit, had been banned from the best European teamsand fastest carsby the mid1930s because of his Jewish heritage. Charles Weiffenbach, head of the downonitsluck automaker Delahaye, was desperately trying to save his company as the world teetered toward the brink. And Lucy Schell, the adventurous daughter of an American multimillionaire, yearned to reclaim the glory of her rallydriving days.As Nazi Germany launched its campaign of racial terror and pushed the world toward war, these three misfits banded together to challenge Hitlers dominance at the apex of motorsport: the Grand Prix. Their quest for redemption culminated in a remarkable race that is still talked about in racing circles to this daybut which, soon after it ended, Hitler attempted to completely erase from history.Bringing to life this glamorous era and the sport that defined it, Faster chronicles one of the most inspiring, deathdefying upsets of all time: a symbolic blow against the Nazis during historys darkest hour.
