ROFGO Collection offers an exclusive look at one of the world’s greatest collections of competition cars. During the late 1960s, the
success achieved by the Gulf-JW Automotive team fired the imagination of a young German enthusiast by the name of Roald Goethe and created a lasting impression. Decades later, and with the help of Adrian Hamilton, Goethe set about fulfilling a childhood dream. His
mission was to create a collection of racers that had been backed by one of the most famous names in motorsport sponsorship –
Gulf Oils.
From
sports-racers and single-seaters to 21st century
GT contenders, the result is an unrivaled and truly evocative
set of more than 30 cars – all of which are included in this exciting new title.
- Every car in the collection, from Mirage M1 to Aston Martin GTE, covered in depth by one of the world’s leading motorsport historians.
- The full history of iconic models such as the Ford GT40, Porsche 917 and McLaren M23 – plus lesser-known curiosities such as the Mirage M5 Formula Ford car.
-
Quotes from the drivers, engineers and team managers who were involved with each car.
-
Full specifications and period race history for every car included in the extensive appendices.
- More than 300 photographs, including a specially commissioned photo shoot of each car and superb archive images.
-
