Le Sport Prototipo Dal Mondiale Marche al WEC

Early in the 1970s, the world of major endurance races changed radically with the advent of the enthralling and unforgettable Sports Prototype cars with their five-litre displacement limit, first and foremost the Porsche 917 and the Ferrari 512 S and 512 M.
In the years that followed, the World Championship for Makes endured mixed fortunes, underwent countless regulatory changes and yet, thanks above all to the Le Mans 24 Hours, it managed to survive, renewing itself time and time again, through to the present day.
Leading the reader through this intricate yet fascinating area of motorsport is Massimo Campi who, from the prototypes of the early Seventies, by way of the Silhouettes, Group Cs, WSC barchettas and the Le Mans Series, arrives at the years of the WEC and the current hypercars that have seen the return in grand style of Ferrari, pitted against rival manufacturers such as Toyota and Porsche.
