In The Cruel Sport Robert Daley gives the reader a double-dose of his remarkable talent. [It] offers unique glimpses into the glorious bygone era of Grand Prix racing. The photographs ... are unique portraits that have hung in some of the world’s finest art galleries. The text complements the photographs and vice versa. The portraits are spectacular, but the text may be even better. The book is full of great quotes, tidbits of trivia and interesting facts. The Cruel Sport deserves a place of honor on every Formula One fan’s bookcase. I give it four out of five lug nuts.” SpeedTV.com “ Daley captures life of the edge of the Grand Prix circuit." Automobile Magazine It was an era of daring, dashing drivers piloting incredibly powerful race cars around fast and legendary circuits with only primitive safety equipment to spare them disaster. The book includes sections covering the drivers, cars, factories, practice sessions, race day races and, inevitably, accidents. The text is incredibly compelling, as would be expected from a world-class writer. Drivers such as Phil Hill, Jim Clark, Jack Brabham, Marquis de Portago, Luigi Musso, Peter Collins, Jean Behra, Enzo Ferrari, Jackie Stewart, Ricardo Rodriguez, Colin Chapman and others are all profiled here. A rare period piece certain to delight racing fans
