The Publisher’s Edition of Open Roads and Front Engines is signed by author János Wimpffen and five great international drivers whose accomplishments helped define sports-car racing: Tony Brooks, John Fitch, Dan Gurney, Hans Herrmann, and Roy Salvadori. This series is limited to 300 individually numbered copies.
During the remarkable period from 1953 through 1961, the most famous long-distance epics such as Le Mans, the Mille Miglia, Targa Florio, Sebring, Nürburgring, the Carrera Panamericana, and Dundrod all experienced their finest moments. Classic marques such as Jaguar, Mercedes, Maserati, Porsche, Aston Martin, and Ferrari achieved championships while producing models of timeless beauty and importance, and engaging in some of racing’s most enthralling battles.
