Autocourse 1978-79

Autocourse is the finest Grand Prix Annual in the world. The 1978-79 annual covers the 1978 season of F1 and also covers other European Championships in addition to the Indianapolis 500, NASCAR and LeMans. Great photos, charts, and season stats throughout. The cover has Mario Andretti and Ronnie Peterson driving their JPS Lotus on the cover. This is the season Mario Andretti won the Formula 1 World Championship making him the only driver to have won both the F1 and Indy Car championship titles. The final race at Monza should have been a day of celebration for the Lotus team but turned to tragedy after the death of teammate Ronnie Peterson. Andretti joined Phil Hill as the second American driver to have won the World Championship title. 9.5 X 12.75 inches
