Omschrijving

If you liked Dan Gurney - and name one motorsport fan who doesn't - this is the book you have been hoping someone would write following Dan's passing. It is not a biography, but it covers every aspect of his life in enough detail to provide a flowing context of his unique history as driver from 1957 to 1970 and then as a team owner until he died at 87 in 2018. Phil Henny is the perfect guy to write this book. He knew Dan well and worked with him on the Shelby American Le Mans team. He is an unabashed admirer and was in contact with Gurney at All American Racers after he left Shelby American. His enthusiasm on the subject is obvious and we'd much rather read a book written by someone like this than by someone who really didn't know the subject and approached the project as just another writing project. We highly recommend this book.My book is not a biography, it is a remembrance of the extraordinary life and accomplishments of an American Racing Icon with whom I had the opportunity to be associated in one of his greatest Victories: the 24 Hours of le Mans, in 1967. Thank you Dan, since that day you changed my life. This is for Dan Gurney's family, friends and all the fans who followed and appreciated him as a driver, a designer, a team owner and a man. I hope this book will provide a correct and vivid representation of what Dan's great accomplishments gave us in the last sixty years.Dan Gurney drove for Ferrari in the 1950s, who spearheaded Porsche's foray into Formula 1, he won Le Mans 24 Hours for Ford. A patriot who built and drove the first American F1 car ever to win a Grand Prix. A victor in F1, sports cars and USAC. Also in Can-Am, Trans-Am and NASCAR. A race car manufacturer too, who ran front-line teams in Indy car, Champ Car, Formula 5000, Trans-Am and IMSA. A racer acknowledged by his peers to be one of the very best: famously, the man whom Jim Clark regarded as his most serious rival.
