It was the fastest, most competitive European endurance-racing season ever Ferrari, Porsche, Alfa Romeo, Matra all battling wheel to wheel for the 1970 World Manufacturer s Championship, and young American journalist Nick Thorne was there to cover it...   But when one spring afternoon he sprinted across a rain-slick German test track to rescue the World Champion from a fiery wreck, he was thrust into racing s red-hot center. Suddenly on intimate terms with the drivers, their wives and lovers, the secrets he came upon were vastly more than he bargained for, as race by race the championship rose to its desperate climax.  From England s rain-drenched Brands Hatch to sunny Monza in Italy, Sicily s gritty Targa Florio to glamorous Monaco and the horrifying speeds of Belgium s Spa-Francorchamps, Nick learned to trust only one truth In the violence of all-out competition, there are no innocent bystanders.

<p>Faced with financial oblivion in the early 1980s, Jaguar  turned to racing-and an American racing team-to turn its image around. Jaguar hired the Group 44 team of Bob Tullius to build and race a new-from-scratch sports racing car in IMSA and LeMans competition, to pursue Jaguar's belief that a successful racing effort would give the brand a new glow.The XJR7, the subject of the second installment of the Stance &amp; Speed Monograph Series, was the ultimate evolution of Group 44's V-12 Jaguar racer. With it, Jaguar and Group 44 not only took the fight to Porsche's dominant Porsche 956s and 962s; they also created one of the most beautiful and striking race cars of the 1980s.</p>
