Overview

From six-wheeled Formula One curiosities to prototype racers that sucked themselves to the track with fans, Banned! The Lost Cars of Motorsport is a high-octane journey through the outlawed machines that changed racing-even in defeat. In the cutthroat world of motorsport, innovation doesn't always guarantee survival. Sometimes it's the most brilliant, daring, and unconventional ideas that are shut down the fastest. Whether banned for being too fast, too dangerous, or simply too clever, these machines pushed the envelope until the envelope tore. This book tells the riveting stories behind over thirty cars that broke rules, rewrote rulebooks, and made history without always crossing the finish line. From the ground-effect revolution of the Lotus 79 to the secret systems of Williams and Renault, from fan-car scandals to Group B madness, each chapter reveals the moment innovation became a step too far. With vivid storytelling, in-depth research, and a deep love of racing, this is a celebration of motorsport's most notorious rulebreakers-because sometimes the most important cars are the ones that didn't last.
