Imagine how surprised we were when we received a letter last December from Paris saying that our series is nominated as "Grand Prix du Plus Beau Livre de l´Année" and finally won the first prize! Besides the praises of you, our dear clients and racing enthusiasts, this is of course one of the greatest honours ever to achieve, and we are very proud that our work finds an international acceptance, as numberous reviews in motorsport press (and the following orders) already have proven. Please find below a photo of the prize giving in Paris (Hôtel Ritz, 23.01.2002) to Rainer, who was accompanied by our friend and publisher Dieter Streve-Mülhens and his wife Clemencia (picture description from left to right: Georges Wolinski, somebody whose name I couldn´t find out, Rémi Depoix, Rainer W Schlegelmilch, Dieter Streve-Mülhens).
