Closing Speed: The Unabridged Edition
Mario Andretti said, “It seems like I’ve known Ted West forever—our paths ran together for many years. He’s worked hard to earn the respect he gets and I’m sure the enthusiast world will now enjoy his fiction.”
Closing Speed is that book.
Written by Ken Purdy Award-winning author Ted West, this intensely personal novel lays bare the 1970 war between Porsche’s 917 and Ferrari’s 512 immortalized in Steve McQueen’s Le Mans. It was the fastest, fiercest season of them all.
Closing Speed captures the competitive pride, blind aggression, and racing mortality of the drivers and the women who loved them.
