Monzanapolis, The Monza 500 Miles
Weight 2kg by Aldo Zana
The ‘Monzanapolis’ 500 Mile races of 1957 and 1958 were billed as the “The Race of Two Worlds” and saw many Indy cars brought over to race against European machinery. These weren’t the first trans-Atlantic clashes though, as many European teams and drivers travelled the other way during the previous half century. This fascinating volume starts with the Vanderbilt Cup race of 1905 and takes us through subsequent events along with several early Indy 500s when Peugeot did so well, Maserati’s successes at the Brickyard either side of the war and also a few surprise results in Europe when the Americans visited France and Italy in the 1920s. It all culminates with an in-depth look at those famous Monza races and the story is superbly illustrated with carefully selected images throughout.
