JEAN ROLLAND L'EPOPEE INACHEVEE
There was a time when motor racing champions could fascinate as much for their exploits in rallies as for their speed on track. Jean Rolland was one of these.
While his legend remains linked to road racing and his faithful co-driver Gabriel Augias, his experiences on track promised a great future for this romantic character.
Jean Rolland, L’épopée inachevée is also a tribute to the great motorsport drivers of an era when versatility and endurance were essential qualities, combined with speed in all conditions.
Tour Auto, Coupe des Alpes, Critérium des Cévennes, Tour de Corse, the scenarios of this heroic era, which is retraced through the story of Jean Rolland and the testimonies of champions and celebrities, including Johnny Rives, Jean-Claude Andruet, Gérard Larrousse and Jean Todt.
A volume accompanied by hundreds of photos from the archives of Maurice Louche, Motorsport Images, McKlein, Alamy, Michel Hommell, and photographers Jean Sejnost, Adolphe Conrath, Rainer W. Schlegelmilch, Geoff Goddard, David Phipps.
A publication full of tributes to a heroic period, thought for motor racing history enthusiasts, without forgetting Alfisti for whom this volume will be an absolute must!
Jean Rolland, L’épopée inachevée has 336 pages and more than 400 archive images.
