Anotace knihy

From the rough concrete of Sebring to the banking of Daytona, from privateer garages to factory-backed prototype wars, American Prototype Wars: The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of Sports Car Racing in the United States tells the full story of one of the most inventive and dramatic eras in American motorsport.

This fact-based narrative traces the rise of IMSA from its 1969 founding by John and Peggy Bishop with support from Bill France Sr., through the Camel GT years, the birth of GTP, and the unforgettable battles between Porsche, Nissan, Jaguar, Toyota, Mazda, Chevrolet-powered specials, and fearless privateers. It follows the Porsche 962, Nissan GTP ZX-Turbo, Jaguar XJR machines, Toyota Eagle MkIII, Mazda rotaries, Daytona Prototypes, Audi's ALMS dominance, DPi, and the modern hybrid GTP rebirth.

More than a story of cars, this is a story of rules, money, circuits, teams, drivers, technology, endurance, collapse, division, and renewal. It explains how American sports car racing built its own identity, lost its first golden prototype age, split into rival visions, reunited under IMSA, and returned to the world stage through modern GTP and global prototype convergence.

For readers who love endurance racing, motorsport history, engineering drama, and the great American circuits, this book captures the sound, speed, ambition, and survival of prototype racing in the United States.
