Rainer W. Schlegelmilch. Ferrari Sports Car Racing

Ferrari’s golden age of sports car racing (1962–1973) is celebrated in this large-format coffee-table book, a tribute to Ferrari’s outstanding racing history. Rainer W. Schlegelmilch’s compelling lens captures more than just speed and beauty; it captures what Enzo Ferrari called the „terrible joys“ of the sport, as experienced by both Scuderia Ferrari and passionate fans worldwide.

The XXL-format coffee-table book *Rainer W. Schlegelmilch. Ferrari Sports Car Racing* was published by Taschen in a limited edition of 1,500 copies, each numbered and signed by the photographer, Rainer W. Schlegelmilch.

Schlegelmilch captured sports car racing in its purest form: the glint of a scarlet-red body in the sun, the tension on the starting grid, the captivated faces of fans, and conversations with teammates and partners. His famous use of the zoom lens was both impressive and intimate: he closed the distance to heighten the drama, while drawing the viewer into the emotional heart of the moment.

This book is a tribute to the cars, the personalities, and the culture that shaped Ferrari during its most iconic era, when drivers like Surtees, Bandini, Ickx, and Rodríguez raced across the asphalt in scarlet-red cars of mythical beauty. Image by image, Schlegelmilch takes us behind the scenes to the pits and the podiums, revealing both the all-too-human emotions and the raw power of the races.
