The Technical
History of the Machines Designed and Built by All American Racers
- In the more than four
decades since it was founded by racing legends Dan Gurney and
Carroll Shelby, All American Racers has consistently built cars
that have competed and won at the highest levels of
motorsports.One of the earliest AAR Eagles made racing history in
1967 when Gurney himself drove it to victory at the Belgian Grand
Prix, making him the only American in Formula 1 to ever win a GP
in a car of his own making. Less than a year later, an Eagle
driven by Bobby Unser would capture the marques first Indianapolis
500 victory, with others to follow in 1973 and 1975. Two decades
later, AARs Toyota Eagle Mark III dominated IMSAs Grand Touring
Prototype category, scoring back to back drivers and manufacturers
championships in 1992 and 1993.Under Gurneys leadership, AAR
has always applied a combination of cutting edge engineering,
experimentation, and real-world driving experience to produce cars
that were unmatched in their speed, sophistication, and elegance.
Author John Zimmermann delivers the definitive account of the
planning, development and race history of every car built by AAR.
Drawing on extensive interviews with Dan Gurney and the company's
top designers, engineers, and drivers, Zimmermann explains how
each car was conceived, created, and refined for maximum
performance. His descriptions and analysis are accompanied by
hundreds of color and black and white photos showing each cars
journey from the drawing board to the racetrack.
