Vollgas oder nix - Erich Glavitza

The motorsport of the 1960s was a wild and crazy era with Jochen Rindt, James Bond and Steve McQueen.

The motorsport of the 1960s was a wild and crazy era. Erich Glavitza - a Man with high Octain Petrol in Blood - tries to get a foothold in this Scene. The Austrian has Friends as Jochen Rindt and Jack Brabham and ultimately makes a career as a reporter and stuntman for James Bond and Steve McQueen's Le Mans film.

In this work, he tells the stories that others prefer to conceal: How he and Jochen Rindt sound out the top speed of a Ford Mustang on a sloping highway - and pay for it almost with their lives because of a swerving semitrailer. How he teaches Bond girl Diana Rigg to drift in a 400 hp Mercury Cougar. And how Steve McQueen has a couple of lovers and their followers kidnapped during the filming of the Le Mans film.

A humorous reading book written with a lot of Austrian charm, which wonderfully reflects the free and carefree attitude to life of the 60s. Glavitza immerses his readers in a time when sex was still safe and motorsport was still dangerous - and in which young guys like McQueen, Rindt and of course the author himself listened more to the heart than to the head.
