Celebrating fifty seasons of the most spectacular motorsport, the World Rally Championship marries state-of-the-art technology with endurance and speed in a battle against both the clock and the elements of nature. Rallying is the mother of all motorsport. Mastering a car on gravel, snow and asphalt, in extreme heat, ice, rain, fog and darkness is the supreme discipline on four wheels. The World Rally Championship, which has been held since 1973, has entered its 50th season. Time to look back at these automotive and human legends from Alpine to Integrale, from Colin McRae to Sébastien Loeb, from the wild Group B cars to the technically fascinating Rally1 racers with hybrid drive. It's all here in this book. With hundreds of photos from the McKlein archive, of which many are unique to this book, it encapsulates the highs and lows of a half a century's fight for the WRC crown: the technical development, the dramas, the heroic sagas and the curiosities. It's an encyclopaedia of an era of enthusiastic drifting, through to the battle for tenths of a second with the fastest cars of all time travelling on a mixture of gravel roads. A book of stories and pictures about the most spectacular motorsport in the world. //////////////////// 50 Mal WRC. Das sind 50 Saisons spektakulärster Motorsport. Modernste Technik, Robustheit, Ausdauer und schieres Tempo im Kampf gegen die Uhr - der Rallyesport ist die Mutter jeden Automobilsports. Das Beherrschen eines Autos auf hartem Asphalt oder blankem Eis, in größter Hitze, in Regen, Nebel und Dunkelheit ist die Königsdisziplin auf vier Rädern. Die seit 1973 ausgetragene Rallye-Weltmeisterschaft ist in ihre 50. Saison gegangen. Zeit, zurückzublicken auf automobile und menschliche Legenden von Alpine bis Integrale, von Colin McRae bis Sébastien Loeb, von der wilden Gruppe B bis zu den technisch faszinierenden Rally1-Rennern mit Hybridantrieb. Mit vielen teils bislang unveröffentlichten Fotos aus dem Archiv McKlein erzählt dieses Buch kompakt von jeder Saison eines halben Jahrhunderts Kampf um die WM-Krone: die technische Entwicklung, die Dramen, die Heldensagen und die Kuriositäten. Das ist ein Parforceritt von der Ära des gepflegten Drifts bis zum Kampf um Zehntelsekunden mit den auf unbefestigten Pfaden schnellsten Autos aller Zeiten. Ein Geschichten- und Bilderbuch über den aufregendsten Motorsport der Welt.

Dog ignores, but I like
Color: Ivory, Size: 2' x 3' (Pelt), Color: Ivory, Size: 2' x 3' (Pelt)
I bought this for my dog, who is old and has creaky joints. My dog prefers to continue resting in uncomfortable places that put my plants in peril. He does not ever recline on this dead sheep and looks at me as though I am the sheep slaughterer. Spouse asked if it came in bigger sizes. Since this is the skin of a dead sheep, it depends on live sheep girth. Anything bigger would likely have to be sewn together from multiple dead sheep. I find the girth of this sheep pelt perfectly acceptable. It is nice and thick and soft and fairly easy to vacuum. I frequently recline on it when stretched out on the floor, and am grateful it does not leave a mess or make noise like my dog, who should be grateful that his pelt is still attached to his body.

SHRINK Wrapped. NO Customer Support.
Color: Ivory, Size: 2' x 3' (Pelt)
These arrived shrink wrapped and when put down as throw rugs, are lumpy. They are a little less so after 10 minutes on air fluff in the dryer. They look nice and fit my bedroom well but I’m concerned about walking over them since I prefer a level surface that is even. Customer support does NOT exist. There appears to be a chat option but there are no responses. Reading other information, I’ve decided to try a metal comb. So now I’m waiting for that to arrive. If it wasn’t so difficult to deal with the size difference, I would have simply returned them. I may still and just purchase a return container.

100 % genuine sheepskin.
Color: Ivory, Size: 2' x 3' (Pelt)
Just received today. Beautiful sheepskin rug. 100 percent natural long fibers. As the listing states..."it has the wrong labei". That must be why the "experts" complained. Out of several rugs i own, this one is the nicest. Slight smell but airing it out will take care of that.

Overall good quality
Color: Ivory, Size: 2' x 3' (Pelt), Color: Ivory, Size: 2' x 3' (Pelt)
I was pleasantly surprised by the thickness of this rug. No bad smell coming off it. I like the leather backing on it. Wasn't as soft/fluffy straight out the bag but a quick brush fixed that issue for me. So far even with the brushing there is minimal shedding. Bought as a gift for my husband but my son enjoys it.
