wicked
you have anything more? pics or stuff?

[ArchangelGTR]

Unfortunately, no pics. That is all I found on Amazon. Maybe someone else knows where they're at?

[drewwtms]

Sounds like some other performance portfolios that have every major road test and feature compiled into one book.

Speaking of books:

In addition to Driving Ambition, if you don't have the following, you should find them. (I believe most if not all are no longer published.) You may find them in a library or 2

McLaren F1 GTR by Michael Cotton Copyright 1995 (ISBN 3-928540-12-2) Gruppe C Motorsports - Verlag GMBH
166 pages of nothing but GTR pics. Would consider this the GTR photo bible for those that love the 95 GTR. Over 250 photos, the teams the drivers, the behind the scene personalities, night shots, action shots, still shots, pit shots. This is a must have if you can find it. (The protective cover has the West McLaren).

1995 Le Mans 24 Hours (IHM Publishing - Belgium) Plenty of shots of the McLaren effort at Le Mans.

1996 GT Endurance. (IHM Publishing - Belgium) Plenty of shots of the 96 GTR. If you love the BPR series this is it!

1997 GT Endurance (IHM Publishing - Belgium) (ISBN 2-930120-18-5)
Showcases the 1997 FIA GT series. Plenty of shots of all the 97 GTRs. Cover shot has 2 Fina cars, 3 Gulf cars and the 1 Parabolica car.. yes all on one shot.

Many of the photos I haven't seen on this forum nor on the internet... unless Peleton has them all.

[Peloton25]

No, I don't have them all. I wish I did of course...

Anyway - I've known about the Cotton book for a while, but have never seen one for sale. I guess I should look harder. I'd rather have a copy of that than the F1 Brochure that everyone pays bank for on Fleabay, that's for sure.

is there more info on this book yet?

pics?

[christophe320d]

The Cotton book is very hard to find, i found it a month or three back on ebay but forgot to bid in the last minute. It was the first time i saw it on ebay.

I called every bookstore in belgium to find it, but nothing....

[ArchangelGTR]

You were right. This is a performance portfolio.

Goodluck getting the cotton book. It is OOP.

[Peloton25]

I have this new Performance Portfolio already. It's pretty good for someone who doesn't have a lot of the articles that it includes. I certainly don't have them all, so there's still some new stuff inside for me. It's a follow up book to the original one they released with the black cover. The one thing that disappointed me is that I thought all the pages inside this one were in color, but really only about 1/3rd or less are.

Are the 3 last books only about Mclaren or mixed brands?
The Cotton book is fantastic

[Peloton25]

The last three on his list are not McLaren specific, but do contain quite a bit of F1 content. They are quite wonderful.

The Michael Cotton book also comes with a protective cover with a Gulf Mclaren on or a Harrods Mclaren on. The are hard one to find,
there no different inside.
The Normal cover for most is the West Mclaren.

It would appear that the 1995 GT Endurance book has an alternate cover as well. There is one up for sale on Ebay now and it is the first time I have seen it:

Normal cover:



Someone should stick a good shot of that in the "multiple F1 photos" thread - there are 5 in that picture.

New cover:
