Motorsports Mavericks captures a daring era of 1960s and ’70s racing, featuring legendary drivers, bold innovations, and rare, often long-unseen photography by Pete Biro.
Motorsport’s most thrilling and perilous era, brought to life with expert narration, exclusive interviews, and Pete Biro''s spectacular photography.
In the 1960s and ’70s, every form of racing demanded courage in the face of disproportionate risk. In Motorsports Mavericks, the award-winning team of photographer Pete Biro and racing historian George Levy brings us the rise and fall of this “Golden Age” of motorsports through the insights and analysis of the participants themselves—putting us in the same room with history’s greatest racing legends. Pete Biro’s unforgettable photography, much of it unpublished or long unseen, conveys the speed, danger, and glory in vivid detail.
It was a time of:
It was a window in time that would open and just as certainly close. Racing will never be—can never be—like that again.
Featuring a foreword by auto racing icon Roger Penske, Motorsports Mavericks is a visual feast and an insightful, wistful, occasionally humorous look at that golden-and-simultaneously-fraught age when all race drivers courted danger with little in the way of a safety net. Whether you’re an F1 enthusiast, a NASCAR fan, or just love motorsport, this book offers an exhilarating ride.

It was a time of:
- Extremes – Top speeds spiked, risk soared, and racing''s popularity exploded.
- Legends – AJ Foyt, Dan Gurney, Don Garlits, Richard Petty, Mario Andretti, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Derek Bell, and more became household names piloting all manner of race cars in series including Formula 1, NASCAR, drag racing, Indy 500, and sports prototypes.
- Innovation – Bold experimentation prevailed, led by designers, engineers, and team owners like Enzo Ferrari, Colin Chapman, Jim Hall, and Robin Herd. Racers were as much test pilots as competitors.
It was a window in time that would open and just as certainly close. Racing will never be—can never be—like that again.
