Carroll Shelby is a legendary racing driver and car designer of the world. He has left the automotive industry with extremely valuable legacies. His contributions were all landmark and had a strong influence on the culture of racing at that time, setting the stage for the tremendous development of the billion-dollar industry.

On the track, he got acquainted and had a confidant, Art Evans. The two are close friends and always accompany each other in both career and life. As he got older, Carroll Shelby had a great passion for car titles, but he no longer had the eyesight to read books covered with text. So Art Evans had the idea to make a book that is mainly a picture of his glorious career, as a gift for a close friend. The Carroll Shelby Book is not only a witness to reconstructing Carroll Shelby’s path to success, but also reviving memories of the context and culture of motorsport at the time.
