As a big fan of the Carrera GT I'm interested in finding a book on the CGT in the same vein as the book written about the Mclaren F1 (Driving ambition: The official inside story of the Mclaren F1).

I'd appreciate any information!

Cheers!

I enjoyed the book by Elmar Brummer

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0760319944?pc_redi...

I don't think there is a lot else published sadly.

Ask WTDoom nicely what he recommends. I'm sure he's got quite a bit of of the literature on the CGT.

Hello !

Unfortunately the above is probably the best book on the Cgt . It's I badly translated in places and is unfortunately not very good ( in comparison to the mac book).

There's a great article in this months us Porsche club magazine with some great insights I to the cars development . A very very good article . Sorry I couldn't be much help .

No problem! Thanks guys for the input. I'll try and get a copy of the magazine you mentioned. Do you have to be a member or do they come up on ebay from time to time?
