Jo Siffert - The Swiss Racing Legend Rating = 4

Les Suisses au Mans 2010 (Tome 5) Rating = 4
|
2010-Dec-2 | I discovered the first books [Tome 1 and Tome 2] of this series in the beginning of 2009, it was hard to find them as there is not much about them in the internet and the books are fully written in french so there is probably no single review in english out there... | Details |
 |
Die Aussenseiter Rating = 5 
|
2006 | Focus of the book: This book is a true treasure when it comes to summarize the Swiss history in Motorsports from 1950 to 2006: Carefully researched and written in great detail, interesting also for non-Swiss race enthusiasts as it tells many stories around famous races in that time range. Thanks to Nina and her father for signing it, and many thanks to Mitch! | Details |

La Suisse et les 24 Heures du Mans (Tome 2) Rating = 5
|
2007-Jul-01 | Unfortunately this book is available only in french but for me a good and motivating occasion to refresh my four years of french lessons at school. However: A Must-Have if you have already part one. | Details |
 |
La Suisse et les 24 Heures du Mans (Tome 1) Rating = 5
|
2007-Jun-01 | The book is not chronologically going through the years at Le Mans but rather focuses on key Swiss engagements of drivers, teams and other racing related people. The book is actually delivered in two parts (Tome 1 and 2) and comes in really great quality (paper, print, photos): Over 600 pages and many many rare photos (over 1400 in total!). The picture on the cover of "Tome 1" shows Jo 'Seppi' Siffert at Le Mans 1969 photographed by his sister Adélaïde Siffert. Absolutely awesome book! |

Die Sauber-Formel Rating = 5
|
2004-Oct-01 | At the time where I wrote this post (02-Dec-2009), Peter Sauber was heavily discussed in the press as of his uncertain situation with his Formula 1 Team in Hinwil. Some days before, Peter Sauber got the agreement from BMW to buy back the team he founded himself back in 1991 and sold it to BMW in 2005. But the book is not here for that purpose! It is here because of Peter Sauber's past. Click on details to know why... |

2002-Nov-22 | Focus of the Book: The full story of the Swiss Racing Team founded by Georges Filipinetti who primarily supported Jo "Seppi" Siffert in the 60s. | Details |
