Description

The predecessor of today’s international rally sport, the alpine trials and rallies of 1910 onwards were an incredible test of endurance for early pioneers and their cars. Becoming ever more international, the event would continue in various forms until 1973. This book, written by a seven time Alpine Rally competitor, is an in-depth history of this incredibly demanding event. Illustrated with unique photographs and images of rally medals and trophies, this is an excellent book for the rallying enthusiast.

The Author

Martin Pfundner, born in Vienna in 1930, took part in seven Alpine Rallies in the fifties, and became Clerk of the Course for the first and second Austrian Grand Prix (Formula One) at Zeltweg (1963/64). This is Martin's third book on the history of motoring and motor sport, for which he was well prepared as co-founder of Vienna’s monthly Autorevue, and editor of Automobile Year’s German language edition.
