The book
July 1968 – After four year of absence the French Grand Prix returns to the famous circuit of Rouen-Les Essarts. It is a weekend filled with racing: additional to the F1 races are hosted for R8 Gordini, Formula France and the Formula 3. In this book unpublished documents, testimonies, never released photos shed a new light on this race weekend mixed with joy and tears. See the unforgotten V12 and V8 engines, meet Rindt, Stewart, Hill, Brabham, Ickx, Rodriguez, Beltoise or Schlesser and let yourself be carried away by the story of this Grand Prix.

The collection
This book is part of a collection of books that relives unforgotten events of the motor racing history. Its purpose is to explore a particular weekend, the choice of which depends above all on the author’s ability to gather the most original and complete documentation possible: photos, plans, programs, drawings, period reports and testimonies. All the historical disciplines are likely to be approached: F1, F2, F3, FJ, FF, sport-prototypes, GT, touring, cups of mark, rally, etc. If the program includes other events of a different nature (motorcycling, cycling…), they are reported with the same concern of precision.
