50 Jahre, der härtesten Rallye der Welt/50 years of the toughest rally in the world
In 2002 the fiftieth event was held and it is possible that it may be the last. On the occasion of that anniversary, Reinhard Klein, in association with former co-driver John Davenport, compiled this massive work containing more than 300 pages. More than two years work has gone into its compilation. The highlight of this top-quality work is the photography. As well as the very best Reinhard Klein and McKlein shots, this book offers dozens of pictures from the private files of former participants and from the archives of Kenya's local newspapers, the Daily Nation and the East African Standard. Special features of this bilingual book are complete entry lists and results from all fifty years. There is also a photographic section devoted to the various elements that represent the diversity of the Safari Rally. These include the wildlife, the scenery, the roads, the people, the rally teams and some of those special moments where only a picture can convey the full meaning.
The stage is set for the breath-taking World Rally Cars from Citroën, Ford, Hyundai and Toyota: The calendar McKlein Rally 2019 - The Wider View rolls out the red carpet for the fastest rally cars ever taking part in the world's most spectacular motorsport discipline. It shows the twenty-five best McKlein pictures from the year's rallying in a 95-centimetre wide panoramic format. For each month of the year, this official wall calendar of the 2019 FIA World Rally Championship offers a choice between two very different pictures showing the world's best rally drivers fighting their way through show-covered mountain passes, water crossings, thick dust and over winding tarmac roads. McKlein's famous photographers show the entire spectrum of the WRC and provide exclusive insights into their camera settings and the selection of photo points.
For the third year running, McKlein presents a wall calendar dedicated exclusively to the history of rallying. Thanks to twenty-five partly yet unseen, partly well-known colour images, Rally History 2019 offers a varied journey through the decades. McKlein's photographers take you back to the times of Group 2 Saabs, Group 4 Escorts, Group B Quattros and Group A Subarus and show you the diversity of rallying in a size and quality never seen before. Just like all the other McKlein wall calendars, Rally History offers you the choice between two very different images each month. These pictures give you an insight into the Lancia workshop in Turin and the dense jungle of the Ivory Coast as well as transporting the viewer to the snow-covered Col de Turini or to the popular Fafe jump.
Do you prefer a Lancia 037 or a Ford Fiesta WRC, an Audi Quattro or Toyota Yaris WRC, an Opel Ascona or a Citroën C3 WRC? With the 2019 Desktop Rally Calendar - History meets the Present you are spoilt for choice. Every two weeks, you can select either an archive picture from McKlein's gigantic collection or an image from the current WRC season. But the compact desk calendar, which comes with a spiral binding, does not just comprise a mix of the old action with the new, it also shows a variety of images including action, technical and atmospheric shots.
The motorsport of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s was a time full of adventure. The world's best sports car drivers proved their sprinting skills for the Le Mans starts while in Formula 1, cunning engineers tried to give their twelve- cylinder Grand Prix cars more downforce with giant wings held by struts that were as thin as a matchstick. And in rallying, the drivers drove non-stop from Liège to Sofia only to return home after a one-hour break. The calendar Motorsport Classic 2019 captures the atmosphere of these wild and unrestrained years and brings it to your home or office thanks to twenty-five compelling black and white images. At the same time, this calendar has kept true to its principles by offering you the choice of two spectacular images per month. Thus it is able to show the full variety of motor sport of that era from Formula 1 to sports and touring car racing and rallying. All of these pictures come with a short description of these unique moments from bygone days.
