SUZUKI by Chris Bennett & Michael Scott
Grand Prix racing is pure dramaŽtooth and nail, speed and courage, played out on the tracks for all to see. Behind the scenes there is anŽother drama, an insider's world of riders, technicians and machines. Team Lucky Strike Suzuki played a leading role in the drama of 1995. First, their reigning superstar, Kevin Schwantz, quit dramatically. The new boy, Daryl Beattie, was to take an early world championShip lead. Then the works team "poached" another factory's star rider, Scott Russell.
Photographer Chris Bennett spent a full year with the team, with privileged access behind the pit curtains and into the team's daily life. His photographs tell that story, from dazzling on-track action to behind-the-scenes technical details and private moments of raw emotion. Writer Michael Scott was also there at every GP, and his words provide a fascinating inŽsider's account of the ups and downs of a year of world championship racing.
