This sumptuous book, a feast of nostalgia, celebrates the wonderful era of the European Formula 2 Championship, 196784, on the 50th anniversary of its beginnings. Formula 2 pitted emerging heroes against the greats of the day and virtually all the top Formula 1 drivers names like Jackie Stewart, Jack Brabham, Graham Hill, Jochen Rindt and Bruce McLaren in 1967 battled with young chargers in races that thrilled huge crowds at the best European circuits, from the Nrburgring to Brands Hatch. In bringing the glory days of Formula 2 back to life in this book, passionate author Chris Witty has interviewed many of the surviving protagonists to present a colourful and evocative retrospective, supported by the work of Jutta Fausel, who photographed Formula 2 races throughout this period.Birth of the European Formula 2 Championship in 1967, when Jacky Ickx (the writer of the books foreword) became the first champion, driving a Tyrrellentered Matra.French Matra cars propelled the next two champions, JeanPierre Beltoise (1968) and Johnny ServozGavin (1969), both Frenchmen.Of all the manufacturers of Formula 2 cars, March achieved the most success, Ronnie Peterson (1971) becoming the first of six champions to win in these Britishbuilt cars.A fine allBritish year, 1972, saw exmotorcycle great Mike Hailwood win the championship in a Surtees car.French champions in five consecutive years: JeanPierre Jarier (1973), Patrick Depailler (1974), Jacques Laffite (1975), JeanPierre Jabouille (1976) and Rene Arnoux (1977) dominated their era and all but Jarier went on to become Grand Prix winners.Toleman and Ralt cars also made in Britain emerged in the final years of the championship, which saw three more British champions: Brian Henton (1980), Geoff Lees (1981) and Jonathan Palmer (1983).The other champions were Clay Regazzoni (1970), Bruno Giacomelli (1978), Marc Surer (1979), Corrado Fabi (1980) and Mike Thackwell

If you’re a fan of motorsport history, this book is a must-have! The Glory Years gives such an in-depth look into the thrilling races and legendary drivers of Formula 2. The photos are stunning, and the writing really brings the era to life. I couldn’t put it down!

Disappointed with the Condition
I was excited to get my copy of this book, but it arrived with a dented cover, which was disappointing. The content seems great from what I’ve read, but the packaging wasn’t up to par. Wish they took more care in shipping these out!

Great for Racing Enthusiasts
I bought this book for my dad, who loves Formula 2, and he’s been raving about it. He says it’s packed with interesting facts and stories about the cars and races. The only downside is that it took longer to arrive than I expected, but he thinks it was worth the wait!

Solid Read, But Needs More Focus
I enjoyed The Glory Years but felt it could’ve delved deeper into individual drivers. There’s plenty of info on the races, but I wanted more personal stories. Still, it’s a solid overview of the era for anyone interested in motorsport history. Not bad!

Informative but Lacks Excitement
This book is packed with information about Formula 2’s golden era, but I found some parts a bit dry. Great photos, yes, but the narrative didn’t always keep my attention. If you’re a hardcore fan, you’ll love it, but I wanted something a bit more thrilling.
