DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Jochen Rindt was two people. To those he disliked, he was arrogant and dismissive. To those he chose to befriend, a warm, humorous character who liked to laugh and joke yet who needed nobody’s help. To countless race fans across the globe, he was simply the man who could do the impossible. Rindt remains Formula 1’s only posthumous World Champion, having been tragically killed at Monza on 5 September 1970 while leading the title race by a big margin. Jackie Stewart, a close friend, believed him to be one of the cleanest men he ever raced against, and the fastest; Bernie Ecclestone, another close friend, believed he was the best of his time; and Alan Rees, Rindt’s team-mate believed he was every bit as good as Jimmy Clark.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The path of Grand Prix racing in America wound through raceways at Sebring, Riverside, Watkins Glen, Long Beach, and finally Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. At each stop, the influence of organized crime seemed no more than a handshake away. But at Caesars the vast crime syndicate appeared deeply involved in the operations of the luxury-branded resort. The Caesars Palace Grand Prix then culminated in an unholy alliance of the world capital of gambling, the mob, and the international czar of Formula One. During its four-year run of successive Formula One and CART IndyCar events, the race hosted the biggest names in motorsport--Mario Andretti, Bernie Ecclestone, Roger Penske, Chris Pook, Alan Jones, Nelson Piquet, Niki Lauda, Danny Sullivan, Bobby Rahal and Al Unser among them. The podium celebration of the inaugural Grand Prix put the convergence of alleged organized crime influences and auto racing on public display, while the years that followed provided their own curiosities. This book traces the intertwined threads through decades of accounts, extensive interviews, and the files of the FBI.
