Racing Team Holland

July 7, 2014

Rob Wiedenhoff and Ed Heuvink

Anyone who’s witnessed the fervour Jos Verstappen whips up among his countrymen knows how much the Dutch love their racing. This stylish book perfectly encapsulates this passion as it recounts the stop-start life of Racing Team Holland, set up in 1963 to further Dutch ambitions. The story starts with orange Porsche 906s, moves on to the Tecno DAF Formula 3 car, skips to Jan Lammers’ F3 success in 1978, and ends with historic racing adventures. The English is far from perfect, but tales of the almost constant rows entertain. One for the ‘niche publishing’ shelf. DS
