The Great Challenge 3 has exceptional printing and finishing quality and, like The Great Challenge 1 and 2, is already regarded by discerning enthusiasts as a valuable collector’s item, particularly once the series is complete in 5 volumes with the same personal book number. For each client we will try to reserve the number which was supplied for the first volumes – so if you bought The Lauda Era with a particular number x/1800, you will, if this is possible, receive The Clark Era and The Stewart Era and the subsequent volumes with the same number and vice versa.
The foreword to the fifth volume was written by Jean Todt. Major figures in the world of motor sports comment on their view of the Schumacher era, including Bernie Ecclestone, Ross Brawn, Flavio Briatore, Mika Hakkinen, Martin Brundle, Felipe Massa and Max Flückiger.
