Let us preface this review, we are not into book reviews by any stretch, as we know this media isn’t as dominant as it once was, and people in general are more satisfied with photos than in-depth content.  This section of the website was purposed by one of our contributors, unfortunately, life got in the way…  And this section has never really had its legs to mature.  If you like to contribute your car-related book reviews, please send us an email, we love to hear from you.

“Faster” by Neal Bascomb, is a thrilling non-fiction narrative about the intense and cutthroat world of international automobile racing during the mid-1920-1930s. The book provides a detailed and fascinating look into the history of racing, the science behind it, and the lives of the drivers who compete at the highest levels of the sport.

Bascom takes the reader on a gripping ride through the history of racing, from the early days of the sport to the modern-day era of Formula One. He also explores the cutting-edge technology and engineering that goes into building some of the fastest cars in the world from the period.

In addition to the technical details, the author also delves into the personal lives and motivations of the drivers, their teams, and their families. The book highlights the intense physical and mental demands that racing places on its competitors, as well as the risks and rewards of pursuing a career in the sport; all this in addition to World War II looming…

Overall, “Faster” is an engrossing read that will appeal to anyone with an interest in racing, technology, or sports in general. Bascomb’s writing is engaging and informative, and he brings the world of racing and individual spirit to excel to life in vivid detail.
