Autocourse Official Champ Car Yearbook

The thirteenth edition of the Autocourse Champ Car Yearbook, edited by Jeremy Shaw and backed by his team of expert writers, chronicles the Champ Car series which runs powerful turbo-charged single-seat open-wheel race cars running on slick tyres around race tracks, city street courses and ovals, not only on the North American continent, but also other hotbeds of support in Mexico and Australia. Sebastien Bourdais once again reigned supreme to secure back to back Championships, with fierce competition from Paul Tracey and a host of other established stars, among them the UK's Justin Wilson, who has proved a major success out in the US. The Toyota Atlantic review charts the success of another British export, leading female racer Katherine Legge, who tested the Minardi F1 Cosworth at the end of November 2005 and is destined for a bright future in America. In the traditional meticulous Autocourse manner, the 2005 season is covered in detail, with full race-by-race reports and results. Popular features such as the editor's Top Ten Driver assessment and in depth features covering the key people and organisations who helped shape the season, are all illustrated with glorious full-cover photography from LAT Photographic. In addition, there is a review of the Toyota Atlantic and Trans-Am series, which feature as support events to the Champ Car series.
