Another of Parker's extended visual histories, but such a difference as compared to the volumes dealing with the '50s & '60s! While the early years of the '70s can be seen as a continuation of a golden age, the period after the Oil Crisis of 1973-74 saw only increasing disarray. I know that as an adolescent in those years I really wondered if motor sport could survive it all. Parker ends on the note: "Nostalgia can be overrated, but not in this case." Parker further notes that the fan should be grateful that the ACO, organizer of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, did not knuckle under to the FIA (despite the usual assorted shenanigans to try and give French teams and cars a competitive advantage), such was their determination to preserve the event.
