'Into the Red: 22 Classic Cars That Shaped a Century of Motor Sport' by Nick Mason.

The idea of driving 21 of the most influential racing cars around a circuit is a magical one, and the way in which Nick Mason and Mark Hales relay the thrills and drama is spell-binding.

Almost 100 years of auto history is detailed, starting with the 1901 Panhard B1, with wind-up handles and leather seats, through to the high-tech dashboard and awesome power of the 1990 Porsche 962.

Among the marques that are put through their paces are Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lotus and Maserati.

The love, expertise and knowledge of Mason and Hales is a winning combination that brings every page to life. Action-packed colour photographs capture the mood and feeling and the reader is given a brief history of each car and its contribution to the development of the sport.

Statisticians aren't forgotten, either, with acceleration and lap times as well as technical data also charted. But not only is the reader treated to pictures and words--the whole dream is brought to life by a CD which accompanies the book, capturing every note of the highly tuned engine moving up and down the scale.

Nick Mason has to be congratulated on his purchase of some of the greatest cars to ever grace racing circuits(yes he is of Pink Floyd fame).

With the calibre of vehicles such as Porsche 962, Ferrari 512S and 312 T3 F1 car, Bugatti T35B, 250F Maserati and not to mention the V16 BRM, oooohhh the BRM), just to name a few.

Lock yourself in your favourite room, turn off the phone, crank up the stereo then close your eyes and immerse yourself in aural heaven.

I can gaurantee if my house ever caught fire this would be the first thing to be tucked under my arm on the way out.
