Gordon Kirby Formula Atlantic Tales from Champions 19692009

Gordon Kirby: Formula Atlantic - Tales from the Champions and Top Competitors, 1969-2009 Foreword by Bobby Rahal.

With 216 color and black-and-white photographs.

Bobby Rahal reminisces fondly about his formative years in Formula Atlantic from 1975–78.

“We were like a band of gypsies driving across Canada to the Atlantic races in those days,” Bobby recalls.

“We met many people along the way who are still good friends of mine today, guys like James King, Tom Gloy, Tom Klausler and Cliff Hansen.

We were all young guys in our early twenties and we travelled together with our cars and little trailers.

For me, it was my post-graduate studies after college.

“There were a lot of people in the Atlantic series at that time who had visions of going on to bigger and better things.

Guys like Gilles Villeneuve and Keke Rosberg went on to become top-flight Formula 1 drivers and guys like Gloy, Klausler and James King went on to achieve a lot in the sport.

It was a fantastically productive formula and Gordon Kirby tells its story with authority and enthusiasm.

It’s a great read!”
