Le site consacre un article sur le livre de Guy Curval que je cite:
" A UNIQUE BOOK HAS BEEN PUBLISHED RECENTLY in France, by pioneer racer Guy Curval, on the history of stock-car racing in France 1953-1970. Guy Curval regularly raced in England, in Senior F1's and in Junior F2's, including several World Finals. Guy was a close buddy of Jock Lloyd, who often helped arrange Guy's trips. French stock-car racing never developed the oval-dedicated "specials" that appeared in the UK in the mid-sixties onwards. French cars were always large American and French saloons, and the tracks were mostly larger dirt ovals on temporary sites. Guy Curval last raced in 1969, and his medical advisors told him never to race again after years of injuries. Guy is still to be seen around the sport in France, and has a classically-restored stock-car in his garage. The book is a high quality hard-back, "coffee-table" size, over 140 pages, with scores of fascinating photos, including some of English tracks, and of Fred Mitchell's union-jack-wearing car on a French visit. It is expensive, and you have to read French. You can ask about it or buy it from a specialist car book shop in Paris: "PASSION AUTOMOBILE", and their e-mail address is passionautomobile@etai.fr "
