The book has been created with the full support and involvement of McLaren Cars.\n\n\nReview\n\n\n'A car designed by obsessives for obsessives, and a detailed account of the project to suit' --\n****** Classic Cars, January 2000\n\n'If there was an award for the car book of the year, mine would go to Doug Nye's Driving Ambition...The depth of research and candour of the F1's creators put other car books to shame.' --\nMotoring Week, November 1999\n\n'Most books dedicated to the genesis of one car are a straight plod through the facts. This couldn't be more different...It's a fascinating record which impressed me all over again with the car's staggering no-compromise solutions'. The handsome pages are alive with illustrations prototypes, components, sketches, memos, mules and mock-ups' --\nMotorsport, January 2000\n\n'The phrase \"warts and all\" has no place in the clinical, ordered world of TAG\/McLaren. It holds its cards closer to its chest closer that a seasoned poker player, which makes the publication of Driving Ambition all the more remarkable...Many of the books that arrive at the TG office are flimsy affairs. But in Driving Ambition you get the full story behind the development of one of the greatest and most written about road cars ever. I doubt it will happen again.' --\nTop Gear, December 1999\n\n'This book does the near impossible by living up to the McLaren F1's awesome reputation. Ultimate car gets ultimate book...Written by Doug Nye - the man who wrote the original F1 sales brochure - with help from Messrs Murray and Dennis, it is simply definitive. Starting with the dream-like sketches in young Murray's college books, taking in the now legendary chat in an airport lounge which hatched the idea, and going through every fractional evolution of the plan which culminated in the greatest road car ever built, it is a fascinating journey.' --\nCar magazine, December 1999\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781852278410\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedLikeNew\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Virgin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40413166829720,"sku":"FT-YHB0-9S9E","price":69.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/products\/51RFTH0BKAL.jpg?v=1625778132","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/driving-ambition-the-official-inside-story-of-the-mclaren-f1","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
