Jesse Alexander's technical expertise, feeling for drama and sensitivity to the smaller details have produced a view that is both powerful and subtle, filled with public spectacle yet revealing private moments. Nowhere before has the intense reality of racing been so stirringly recreated - sweeping shots of cars battling fiercely, close-ups of drivers intent on their work, exacting studies of the machinery, expressions of concern by pit crews and wives, scenes of spectators caught up in the drama. From a superb collection of over three thousand 35-mm transparencies taken at ten circuits - Le Mans, Monte Carlo, the Nurburgring, Ontario, Silverstone, Laguna Seca, Brands Hatch, Zandvoort, Watkins Glen and Paul Ricard - have come nearly 150 of the best motor racing photographs ever taken, all in full color and reproduced with exacting care in a large format that lets all the action, every nuance, be seen - just as they were seen at trackside through the lens of Jesse Alexander."
