At this point the book switches to a photo-based format, with large captions taking us from its ignominious debut, through its redundancy to those few flashes of Formule Libre success. <\/p>\n<p>A post-V16 chapter hints at BRM\u2019s future glory, while driver biogs, race records and detailed technical papers complete the package.  <\/p>\n<p>With each race separately described, results, and quotes from various V16 drivers, it\u2019s a useful reference.
