Louis Chiron

Product description

Louis Chiron, for many reasons, was an out-of-the-box driver.

First of all for his origin, the Principality of Monaco, then for the family origins – he was the son of winegrowers – and finally for the singular way in which he began his career, thanks to the economic support of a wealthy lady who in 1925 sponsored him in his first car races.

Chiron has had a long and successful career, and still holds a historical record: he is the oldest driver to have participated in a Formula 1 Grand Prix, having run his last race at the age of 55.

This book tells the story of a multifaceted, charismatic and fascinating character, protagonist of a distant era, but full of emotions and adventures.

A unique figure who has been able to leave an indelible mark in the history of motorsport.
