The DPPI photo agency was born from the passion of a handful of men for photography and automobiles, preferably of the sports variety. From the outset, DPPI has been dedicated to sharing the daily lives of drivers and racing teams with a wide audience, capturing moments both on the roads and the tracks.
The first volume of this collection, dedicated to the year 1965, delves into the heart of the golden age of motorsport. The cars and their drivers, whether at Le Mans, hill climbs, or on the initial circuits that were not yet the grand spectacle of Formula 1, were approachable and welcoming. They smiled at the fans, who were not yet flocking in large numbers to the tracks and circuits.
The showcasing of DPPI's archival collection, through hundreds of photos published and commented on in this book by photographers and participants of the era themselves, immerses readers in a world rich with extraordinary human adventures centered around exceptional machines.
Previously limited to media and professionals—with most of these press photos never having been published—access is now available to the general public for the first time through this competitively priced book.
Legendary drivers, iconic manufacturers, photographs of the world's most mythical races... this unique book allows motorsport enthusiasts and photography lovers alike to relive the heart of these events.
