Product Description
Following the success of its sister volume, which covered the 1970s, this book features another classic era as Formula 1 - attracting growing interest via TV - became a mainstream sport. The 1980s saw the emergence of McLaren and Williams as the dominant teams. Normally aspirated engines gave way to more powerful turbocharged units, before the regulations changed in 1989 to favor non-turbo motors again. The defining drivers were Gilles Villeneuve, Alan Jones, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna. The 1980s saw the demise of the privateer entrants as technology and costs escalated.

 Beautiful photographs, very low quality print April 3, 2008

The photographs in this book are awesome. However, as in other books from Haynes (i.e. all Formula 1 Season Review) the print is low quality. This could have been an excellent art book if the photographs were printed right. Low color saturation, wrong hue, cooling filter effect (all photographs look blue). I've seen many of this pictures in other books and they are just beautiful... not here. I'm thinking in returning my copy.
 Formula One in Camera: AWESOME February 8, 2008
For any Formula One fan this book is just the ticket. Covering the "TURBO" generation, this book contains many great Schlegelmilch Photo's of all the famous F1 drivers and teams.Senna, Mansell,Prost and piquet, along with many other's are included in this pictorial history. A great insight from this amazing period of F1 motorsport. All the information that accompanies the photos are very informative , some sad and others humorous. The book itself is well made and all pictures are bright and of extremely high quality.If you are a F1 fan or a general motorsports fan BUY THIS BOOK!
A must-read for every Formula One fan May 21, 2007

Formula 1 in Camera 1980-89 is a great book from the series. The main players and acts of the decade - also known as the "Turbo Era" - are shown in carefully selected pictures. Some of them are stunning, others "only" interesting. The texts by Quentin Spurring are giving back the essence of that particular season. They are easy to read and understand, and usually spot-on, with plenty of great background information. I'd definitely recommend this book for the hardcore Formula One enthusiasts and collectors, as well as for casual observers.
More Wonderful Photography.... March 26, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a student of Formula One, I found this and the book of the seventies marvelously photographed. I was a fan of Mario Andretti and Ronnie Peterson in the seventies, and Nigel Mansell and Kiki Rosberg in the eighties. There are plenty of pictures of all of these individuals as well as their on-track antagonists. You also get to see many of the behind the scences folk, whose presence at the races was often times more important than that of their "pilotes"......
Another thing I love about this volume is that there are plenty of pictures of the "also-rans", whose photos you almost never saw in "Road and Track", "On Track" or the "Formula" magazines of the period. It, and the previous volume about the seventies, are well worth the price of admission if one was a fan of racing in the seventies and eighties....
