Paddock Transfer is the second in a promised five volumes of the quite outstanding collection of motor sport photographs of the late Edgar Vernon Starr.
This one continues from the same authors’ Admission 7/6 which covered the 1960s and takes us into the Supersonic 70s, specifically the period 1970 to 1974.
This is very much a picture book but, unlike all too many of that sort, is packed with detailed information about what is shown in the images, the people involved and the conditions in which events were held.
The depth of research done by the authors is impressive, including talking to several of those involved, like John Surtees, Jackie Oliver and John Moore and, to present the view from a different angle, Sue Lehmann who was the first of the Yardley Girls.
Her job, bringing glamour to the Paddock and making visible the support of household-name businesses as they started to sponsor the teams and the events, was an essential part of creating the image of top-level motor sport today.
Mr Starr’s choice of subject for his many excellent photographs – he was not a professional photographer – means that this is not just a record of what was happening on the track; it also gives vivid glimpses of what went on behind the scenes.
