Quest for Speed

The Epic Saga of Record-Breaking on Land

Barry John , Fore. David Tremayne
Beginning with the competition between two early automobile racing enthusiasts in Achère in the late 1890s, Barry John presents an account of the land speed record, tracing developments from early electric cars to piston engines and thrust-powered motors. Notes on the drivers’ achievements are accompanied by a profile drawing of their vehicle and a list of its technical specifications.
