The last post on the site announced the launch date of our book, ‘Senna versus Schumacher And Other Formula One Rivalries That Never Happened’.

We also announced that the book would not only contain the original 4 stories that we wrote — Senna versus Schumacher, Villeneuve versus Prost, Moss versus Clark and Ascari versus Fangio — but also a 5th story by a yet-to-be-confirmed author.

That confirmation is today!

The 5th story is titled ‘Richard Seaman, European Champion‘. It was written by Richard Armstrong, and deals with Seaman’s rivalry with Rudolf Caracciola and Hermann Lang in the last seasons before World War II.

You may expect the final announcement, of the well-known guest author of the foreword to our book, on this site, shortly.

Publication date for our book: May 14th 2015

After quite some time without any news at all, here’s a bombshell: we picked a publication date for our book:

On Thursday 14 May 2015 we will launch ‘Senna versus Schumacher and Other Formula One Rivalries That Never Happened’.

Why this date? Well, the (fatal) accidents that never happened in our stories, in real life happened in the time frame between late April and late May:

Stirling Moss: April 23rd, 1962
Ayrton Senna: May 1st, 1994
Gilles Villeneuve: May 8th, 1982
Alberto Ascari: May 26th, 1955

Along with the publication date, we announce 2 suprises:

We have an internationally renowned guest author writing the foreword for the book.
There will be a 5th story in the book, by an other author, that you will find very interesting.

Both authors will be announced in the 2 months that are left between today and the launch of the book.

We’ll keep you posted!

Today in 1994: the crash seen around the world

Today in 1994, Ayrton Senna died in a crash at the Imola circuit. It was seen around the world, writes Keith Collantine over at F1Fanatic.co.uk. Senna’s death was the second that dreadful weekend in Imola, Italy.

As of today, our story ‘Senna versus Schumacher’ is available for free download. It features Rubens Barrichello’s crash, as well as Roland Ratzenberger’s and Senna’s… but Senna survives to battle Michael Schumacher for Formula One supremacy.
