He is extremely knowlegeable and with this book he has presented in depth his knowledge of the sports-racing prototype.For those interested in this type of car and its history this book will provide a great many insights.

While I can't speak for Jim Martin, my co-author on IMSA's Legendary GTP Race Cars: The Prototype Experience, for me Bamsey's writing, and specifically this book here, certainly were inspirations. Bamsey brings an ability to take sometimes esoteric technical concepts and distill them so that the average fan can understand them, thus bringing even more enjoyment to the sport.
