[alfa155btcc]

I know that there are annuals available Books that covers all classes of Touring Car Racing they are called ( TOURING CAR WORLD ) and originate from italian publisher but are written in english the 2000/1/2/3/4/5/6 versions are quite easily available i am after versions from years 1994/5/6 can anyone help or know where i could find them please. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Again, if you're not in a hurry, just keep on checking Ebay daily. Sometimes older copies are listed for sale.

[SEATFreak]

Ebay may be the only source to be honest. I cannot think of other similar sites where you can buy all kinds of stuff regardless of how old or new it is.

I am sure I saw it on the DUKE website. But I am sure you can only get the current issue. I am sure you aren't able to get back issues of a book.

[alfa155btcc]

thankyou for your swift replies, i too saw the more recent one on Duke catalogue, but i must admit i have never seen any of the older one`s on ebay never as i am quite a regular user, maybe the auto jumbles maybe of some help, or if you know of any motorsport books websites then do let me know, don`t know where to start looking for them
thanks Again

I've got the 2006 opne and I'm hoping to but the 2007 one soon. they are based around the WTCC, but have details on all the touring cars championships around the world for the previous year...competition rules, entrants, final standings, circuits, rounds, full grids and positions for each race, some images from each competition. sort of an almanac really

[GRAVETT]

yeah theyb are as good as you say, private message me with an offer and ill consider selling them

[kmchow]

Buy from a big name shop or perhaps directly from the new publisher?

**WARNING**--DO NOT BUY DIRECTLY from Fabio Ravaioli!! He used to have his own website that offered to sell you the books directly for a cheap price. I paid/went for the deal, but never got the books. I repeatedly emailed the original website/author, but got responses like "I didn't get the money, I already sent you them already, it's in the mail". (this was before Paypal, but luckily, I sent a money order which you could track and it was cashed!!).

I got desparate and contacted the website designer to pass on email to the author that I would be notifying the local authorities and let all my touring car fan buddies know about his scam. The website designer must have got confused thinking I was going to report him and he must have to talked to the author. Cause after that, I eventually got my books, but still not without a few last minute show of internet force.

[alfa155btcc]

do they cover all aspects of touring car racing from certain season and are there lot of colour photo`s and results for season etc etc ???

Weird. I know Fabio and he's one of the most decent blokes you could meet. :s

[alfa155btcc]

Just wondered as i have posted already are books what a friend of mine called them the other day the bible of tourong cars ???
:s mokin: :s mokin: :s mokin:

[kmchow]

yes, the books are incredibly good, lotsa colour pictures. Though paging through one recently, it looks like they left out pictures of a championship or two. But overall, thumbs up from me. :D I consider it a must buy every year!

[pole_sitter]

Yep! Check eBay.
