The Turbo Era: Formula One's Wildest Years

AUTHOR Carrera, Luca
PUBLISHER Independently Published (05/18/2025)
PRODUCT TYPE Hardcover (Hardcover)

Description

Between 1977 and 1988, Formula One entered its most unhinged, unforgettable chapter-a time when tiny 1.5-liter turbocharged engines produced power beyond belief, teams pushed engineering to the brink, and the world's bravest drivers danced with danger at 200 mph. The Turbo Era: Formula One's Wildest Years is a thrilling, high-octane chronicle of those untamed seasons, when the pursuit of speed outpaced safety, sanity, and sometimes common sense.

Through vivid storytelling, insider anecdotes, and race-by-race drama, this book captures the personalities that defined the age-Senna, Prost, Lauda, Mansell, Piquet-and the unsung heroes behind the scenes: mechanics, engineers, test drivers, and strategists. From the whistling teapots of Renault to the dyno-shattering BMWs and the perfect symmetry of the McLaren MP4/4, this is a story of power, innovation, and spectacle.

Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering this legendary era for the first time, The Turbo Era offers a fast-paced, immersive ride through the most volatile and visionary years in Formula One history.
