Description

First published in 2008 with the opening of the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, The Spirit of Competition quickly became the definitive book on one of the world’s greatest racing sports car collections.

This new Second Edition expands on that legacy. It features newly acquired cars, broader coverage, and deeper insight into the philosophy that guided Dr. Frederick A. Simeone in building his world-famous collection.

With fresh photography by acclaimed automotive photographer Michael Furman and editorial contributions from the Museum’s Harry Hurst, the book highlights both legendary icons and the latest additions. Nearly 70 rare and important racing sports cars are presented—machines that show how competition shaped the evolution of the automobile.

More than a catalog, this edition reveals Dr. Simeone’s vision and passion. His belief that “the spirit of competition” defines both the racing car and the human drive behind it runs through every page.

Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of color and archival images, The Spirit of Competition — 2nd Edition is essential for automotive enthusiasts, racing historians, and anyone who values the artistry and legacy of motorsports.
