Sandro Martini, author
Adult; General Fiction (including literary and historical); (Market)
In this epic novel about the motor-racing heroes of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, legendary characters battle to win incredible races on switchback roads along the edges of ravines. Exploring the relationships between the champions as much as the sporting events themselves, this is a thrilling tale based on the true rivalries, triumphs and disasters during a fascinating period in European sporting history.
Reviews
Motor Sport Magazine (October 2014)
"It's racy stuff in more ways than one. [...] The subsequent decade of research has resulted in a dramatic and lively novel, set in an era that has always been ripe for this type of fictional treatment. It would make a good movie."
Mario Andretti, motor sport legend
"Every fan of motor racing should read this book. How the legendary Italian drivers of the past forged the sport we love today with blood and bone."
Motorsports Retro
"We're sold! [...] This early period of motorsport, when men danced on a knife-edge between victory and death, is hugely compelling, and Tracks tells its story in a way that's illuminating and entertaining."
The New York Times
"'Tracks' is written in a romantic, nostalgic tone, almost with a film noir feel ... an eye-opener."
