Anyone interested in the history of racing cars should definitely keep their eyes open for a new book called Go Faster. Written by Sven Voelker, a professor at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design, it takes an in-depth look at some of the most famous racing car liverys to ever hit the world’s racing tracks. From the iconic Gulf colours of the Le Mans-winning Porsche 917 to the red and white swatches that made the Marlboro McLaren such a household name, Voelker analyzes every brush stroke and finds out what made them so undeniably cool.
