After two years of research, writing and designing, Mike Walravens’ “The Oldspeed Book” is now ready for publication.
It would be a great addition to any book collection, dealing with the genesis of Volkswagen motorsport and explaining for the first time the rise of the VW movement. Without these few pioneers, the mechanics, test drivers and genius engineers who circumvented the strict rules of Wolfsburg, nothing of what we call our passion would exist today.
The book starts by looking at the three Type 3s that started the 24-Hours of Spa-Francorchamps in 1964, advancing with the first special series, the Mach1 / Oettinger, and finishes up with the main protagonists of VW performance: Petermax Müller, Wolfgang Denzel and Oettinger, and tuning components such as twin carburettor kits, or superchargers such as MAG, Arnott, Pepco, Shorrock or Judson.
