This
book presents, in large-format images, Simon’s unique
virtually designed racing
machines and tells the
story of international racer Vic Cooper, who
time-travels under the
name 'Vic13' and later
'Mean13' to the past and the future to compete in a wide
variety of
motor races. His attempts are supported by
world famous constructor Masucci, who built
amazing
vehicles for Cooper between the years 1916 and 2582. In
this first volume of The
Timeless Racer, Cooper
time-travels to the year 2027, where he competes in
the
world-famous—and legendarily dangerous— 48 Hours
of America endurance race. The
book puts three
vehicles in the spotlight, shown in incredibly
photo-realistic images.
Car enthusiasts, design fans,
and fiction addicts will be awed by fantastic and
futuristic
race cars in drawings and hyper-real
renderings up to 24 inches wide. The book
includes
special attention to the fine details that
make alternate worlds believable: fictitious
sponsors
and conflicts, with characters described in
spectacular detail through photographs and
back
stories.
In this captivating series, Simon returns to
create an imaginary but entirely possible reality
of
glamour, speed, and honor. Welcome to The Timeless
Racer.
The foreword has been written by racing legend
Jacky Ickx, who raced in the 1960s, ’70s
and ‘80s for
many famed teams such as Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche,
Brabham or Lotus. He
is the only driver to have won
in Formula One, Can-Am, Le Mans, and the
Paris-Dakar
rally.
