View: 1734Given the presumed dominance of American sport, many fans throughout the hemisphere find it difficult to envision the role of sport beyond the confines of their own continent. And yet, world sport consists of so much more than the games Americans play and so much more than the stereotype of cricket for the elite and football for the working class.

As worldwide sport continues to gain in popularity, we also see parallels to many aspects visible in North American sport, particularly celebrity and all its trappings and pitfalls. The success of athletes from other countries in basketball and ice hockey, and the proliferation of stars imported and now exported to and from North America, provides some better examples of sport's international power. It also creates a very new kind of sport celebrity, albeit one that often shows a rather limited reach beyond that star's own country or continent. Thus, rather than focusing on the Western Hemisphere, this collection of some of world sport's most heralded celebrities (including stars of Motocross, surfing, distance running, and more) serves as a sort of passport to many places that make up our global sporting environment.

It is a story of a man whose like will almost certainly never be seen again. Author: Stuart Codling. Publisher: Motorbooks. ISBN:. Category: Sports & Recreation. Page: 240. View: 3699Go behind the scenes to explore the history, racing, celebrity fans, and after hours of racing's most glamorous and prestigious round in the F1 championship with The Life Monaco Grand Prix.

Monaco sponsored its first race in 1929 and the circuit has been part of the Formula 1 series since 1950. Conducted with the patronage of Monaco’s royal family, its beautiful street-circuit has made Monaco the most glamorous setting of any F1 race. But the classic architecture and high-profile spectators belie a course notorious for its complexity and challenges. With no safety barriers until 1969, drivers have twice plunged into the harbor among the spectating yachts. Off the circuit, Monaco is a 24-hour spectacle of expensive boats, high-profile parties, celebrity F1 fans, penthouse spectating, and high-roller lifestyle.

From the Monte Carlo casino (integral to numerous James Bond films) to top clubs like Amber Lounge, Jimmy’z, and The Black Lounge to F1 racers’ luxury homes to the takeoffs and landings of countless private jets, Monaco represents the epitome of the jet-setting lifestyle long associated with the F1 circus. From the first Grand Prix in 1929 to today's star-studded event, The Life Monaco Grand Prix takes the reader on a full lap of this prestigious race.

There have been a few technical race driving books published by F1 drivers over the years, including Jackie Stewart’s ‘ Principles of Performance Driving‘, Alain Prost’s ‘ Competition Driving‘ and Niki Lauda’s ‘“; however they all somehow pale into comparison with the comprehensive words of Ayrton Senna’s ‘ Principles of Race Driving‘ which was first published in 1993. This book is now one of the rarer Senna books in circulation, with the hardcover version being more valuable, although the softcover version is identical in content.Principles of Race Driving is purely a driver instructional book, it doesn’t indulge in any of Senna’s views on Prost, Mansell or Balestre, etc. – each of the book’s 24 chapters are dedicated to key aspects of race preparation and track racing from Senna’s own perspective.The opening chapters start with the basic seating position in the cockpit, different hand steering techniques and foot pedals with some very useful panel photos with Senna in the cockpit. The next 2 chapters deal with cornering techniques, finding the correct racing line through different corners and throttle control through the corner. The other chapters cover a range of important topics such as accelerating, gear changing, using tyres, accidents, driving in the wet, car testing, interpreting car behavior, car setup and gear ratios, warm-up and formation lap, race start and opening laps, overtaking, slipstreaming, pit signals/tactics and flag signals.The photography in the book is good with a mixture of shots that are helpful to the chapter content.

There are also instructional diagrams to explain cornering, spins, wet racing lines and overtaking. If you’re a budding karter or weekend racer, you will find at least one or more helpful tips inside this book.Comparing this book to say, Niki Lauda’s The Art and Science of Grand Prix Driving‘, Senna’s book is much more focused on the human driver technique and interaction with the car whilst Niki Lauda’s book covers much more engineering aspects of setting up the car rather than driving styles. I’ll try to post a review of Niki’s book too sometime in next few months.Not only does the book focus on technical aspects of driving, the last chapters provide a more holistic view of driver fitness, diet and psychology which is more a testament to Senna’s complete dedication to the non-driving aspects. Nowadays sports science is much more sophisticated but even these chapters are interesting in reading from Senna’s own examples of exercise routines and controlled lunch and dinner menus. I think the last chapter on psychology, is probably the most interesting considering how famously intense Senna was, so his views on breathing and mind management is an intriguing insight.Even though this book was written in early 90s where F1 cars had manual gear stick shifts and basic semi-automatic gear paddles, the content is still relevant to today’s modern race cars. If you’re a budding karter or weekend racer, you will find at least one or more helpful tips inside this book. This is a different style of book and even if you aren’t an amateur racer, the Senna perspective alone is worth reading.Wow Factor: Great instructional photos including Senna himself.

Nowadays, this book also carries a rare price tag, so its a useful addition to have for any collector.Suitable for: Budding sports drivers and Senna fans.
