Solex en compétition

Discover the little-known history of Solex racing, where the protagonists are capable of all extravagances for the pleasure of mechanics or just for the beauty of the gesture.
The author, a participant and connoisseur, has delved into his memories and archives to revisit the evolution of racing. He approaches this economical and local mechanical sport from both a technical point of view and that of the organizations, volunteers and drivers. All these passionate actors of Solex racing for half a century deserve to have a book dedicated to them.

The industrial history of VéloSolex has lasted four decades. The racing history has lasted for half a century and the future is already on the circuits with the relaunch of the brand.
