DANISH F1 DREAMS

Description
Information

DANSKE F1 DRØMME. This triple biography is the story of the first wholehearted Danish venture into F1 with racing drivers Tom Belsø, Jac Nellemann and Thorkild Thyrring. The book describes their entire careers in all classes, but with a focus on their formula activities. All three met in the talent class of the time - Formula Ford - which became the stepping stone for them in 1970 on their way to the promised land of F1. Here are the stories from A to Z.

They had worn their racing shoes well and truly in very different categories in the 1960s. Tom had been driving heavy standard cars for a long time, while Jac had tried his hand at go-karting for just as long and Thorkild had started directly in F3 but with outdated models. It was not an optimal way to reach F1.

Read about the standard car driver who for a number of years had leaned on his competitors in the corners and regularly exchanged body paint, and who now sat in an open single-seater car without a roof over his head. About what it was like for the go-kart driver to emerge from the diminutive iron beds and now lie encased in a thin shell of fragile fiberglass. Or what it was like for an F3 driver in outdated equipment to come from wide tires and now skate around on narrow street tires in Formula Ford.

So who were the first Danes in F1 and who reached their dream goals first? Who were the Danish forerunners of Jan Magnussen, Nicolas Kiesa and Kevin Magnussen? This and much more is answered in over 330 pages with more than 900 photos.
