Bleu Matra, la couleur de la victoire

Matra, synonyme du renouveau français, avec ses victoires en championnat du monde en Formule 1 en 1969 et aux 24 Heures du Mans de 1972 à 1974, électrise encore avec un passé bien présent que vous découvrirez dans cette édition dédiée aux mordus du fameux "son V12".

Photographes amateurs dès leur adolescence, Yves Ronga et Luc Joly ont fréquenté les circuits avec leurs appareils photo à partir de 1969. En partageant leurs clichés dans cet ouvrage, ils font revivre avec nostalgie l'épopée de la marque bleue française en mêlant des photos d'hier et d'aujourd'hui avec les témoignages de ceux qui ont fait la légende Matra : pilotes, ingénieurs et mécaniciens.

This pioneering book focuses on the pivotal era of late 1960s and early 1970s international sports car racing, highlighting the intense competition between Porsche, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, and Matra.

It meticulously details the competition history of each chassis, accompanied by rare and unseen photographs. A season-by-season account of Matras in the World Championship, a complete list of races with individual chassis numbers, and brief profiles of works Matra drivers from 1966-74 enhance the reader's understanding of this remarkable period in motorsport.
