Telling racing and pilots is not as easy as you might think. There is the risk of running aground in the dry chronicle, or pollute the story with - often unintentional - personal considerations; or even resorting to anecdotes and platitudes now corny. Here Luca Delli Carri, journalist whose thirty-four, he chose an original way of telling fifty years of racing. His book is in fact the collection of 60 interviews with the most important riders Italian, including off-road and speedway. Interviews collected in person by the author, for a total of 170 hours of recording. Testimonies of those who have walked the runways of the world at different times: in fact it starts from the drivers who have raced and won in the thirties, as Nello Pagani, and after the war and fifties, as Arcisio Artesiani, Umberto Masetti, Emilio Mendogni . To get the names of today like Rossi, Biaggi and Capirossi, passing Giacomo Agostini, Virginio Ferrari, Marco Lucchinelli and Franco Uncini, to name a few. Equally interesting are the interviews with champions of the specialties that do not enjoy the limelight reserved for GP, as the cross, enduro, speedway. From the words of the various Ostorero, Rinaldi, Maddii, Peak, Orioli, Sala, Meoni and Chestnut will appreciate the contours of environments so different from the world of speed, but with which they share only ever the true common denominator: passion. Before the money, the fame and whatnot. You read anecdotes, memories, considerations, judgments sometimes ruthless. In this regard, the author simply reports what pilots refer: there is a filter that corrects the shot affirmations not always close to reality, especially in the memories a bit 'hazy champions yesterday but also in consideration of pilots the last generations, sometimes influenced by personal feelings. Character of each protagonist derives still reading the racing slide and charming.
