Phil Hill's "Inside Track": The Motor Racing Photography of America's First World Champion Driver with Steve Dawson and Doug Nye
 |
| 'INSIDE TRACK' follows Phil Hill's motor racing travels throughout the international auto racing scene to, for example, the Buenos Aires Autodrome 1958, with the charismatic Mike Hawthorn and Peter Collins as you have never quite seen them before - photographed by their own team-mate and co-driver. |
To be published by the GP Library in 2008
World Champion Driver Phil Hill, of Ferrari, is a born motor car enthusiast. Throughout his frontline career he knew them, he loved them, and he drove them blindingly fast...with great mechanical sympathy.
To show 'the folks back home' where he had been, and what he had seen, he loaded his 35mm Leica camera with colour-true Kodachrome film - and wielded it with outstanding artistry...
Now 'INSIDE TRACK' - to be published by The GP Library in 2008 - presents Phil Hill's unique collection of motor racing photographs - captured in period 1948-1962 for 'the folks back home'.
'INSIDE TRACK' captures all the colour, charisma, flare, technical interest, and the personality of International motor racing through the 1950s into the 1960s, as Phil Hill built his glittering career.

| Mr Nice Guy - the veteran Ferrari works team driver 'Gigi' Villoresi at ease, Le Mans '52 - a typical Phil Hill 'people picture' - brimming with personality, atmosphere, and a real sense of this magical era. |
'INSIDE TRACK' reflects in detail - and glorious Kodachrome colour - a bygone era of major-league International motor sport in which Formula 1 drivers commonly drove in World Championship Grand Prix races one weekend, World Championship sports-racing and GT enduros the next, and perhaps in Formula 2 or even Land Speed Record attempts on any idle moment in between...
'INSIDE TRACK' is intended to be, undoubtedly, the most outstanding motor racing photo album by any world-class racing driver.
Within its hundreds of pages it not only shows how Phil's career and world experience developed, it also tells his story in his own words.
'INSIDE TRACK' presents Phil's photography - of unprecedented motor sporting quality for the period - from many of the furthest-flung outposts of the International motor racing world.
Such extraordinary material - and such stunning quality from 800-plus images culled from Hill's extensive personal collection - is exclusive to 'INSIDE TRACK'. For further information on final size, price etc, and to reserve your opportunity to purchase a copy of Phil Hill's 'INSIDE TRACK' today!

| 'INSIDE TRACK' brings you not only the seldom told recollections of Phil Hill - it also offers his sheer photographic artistry as here at Monaco 1958, he caught his own team-mates in their four Formula 1 Ferraris, sweeping down into the Tabac Corner. World Champion-to-be Mike Hawthorn is leading from Luigi Musso, 'Taffy' von Trips and Peter Collins, with Harry Schell's BRM the meat in this 2-by-2 Ferrari 246 V6 sandwich. | Choose an exotic yet distant and relatively obscure motor racing venue from which you have seldom seen any photography at all. Where could it be? The answer is Caracas, Venezuela, with the private entries lined-up before the pits in readiness for the 1955 Venezuelan Grand Prix. Surely one of the finest 1950s Ferrari photographs ever published. |
