(Oddly, the Assouline site does not credit Koto Bolofo in its listing of the special edition, but Bolofo photographed the Goodwood Revival.)
Assouline presents an exclusive, deluxe edition of the epic photography book on the legendary Goodwood Race. This unique volume of photos from the Goodwood Revival is packaged in genuine rubber slipcase to add the feel, touch, and smell of an authentic racetrack.
Emanating from a thrilling and glamorous tradition Racing Style is a photographic representation of the Goodwood Revival, a motorcar race of vehicles from the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s.
The Goodwood Revival relives the glory days of the legendary Goodwood Motor Circuit, Britain’s leading racing venue between 1948 and 1966, and host to contemporary racing of all kinds including Formula One. Racing Style brings us back to the tracks, as they once were, offering all the romance and excitement of original motorcar racing.
This edition celebrates Goodwood through the years with engaging and unusual photos. On each luminous page, the reader is invited to peek at details of the era, from the cockpits of bugattis to the competitors and spectators who dress in period clothing. Racing Style artistically captures all these special memories in a timeless edition devoted to beauty and movement.
