...like I did in my teens,  I'll read any nostalgia-based racing books you recommend. 

Your The Art of Racing in the Rain   recommendation-- although not related at all to my racing nostalgia fetish-- was a winner.

Cheers!

a few car books

- The Limit: Life and Death on the 1961 Grand Prix Circuit
- Unfair Advantage
- Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans
- Closing Speed
- The Last Open Road (this is the first of a series of books and IMHO the best of the bunch)
- Bugatti Queen: In Search of a French Racing Legend
- The Ferrari Cobra Wars

for more techie stuff
- The Romance of Engines
- Race Car Engineering & Mechanics

Movies
- Senna
- Rush
- 1 The Movie
- Grand Prix
- Le Mans
- The Snake and the Stallion
- most of the "Victory by Design" DVDs, especially the ones for Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Aston Martin, Jaguar (the  ones on Porsche, Corvette and Ford were less inspiring)
