igh-octane journey through the outlawed machines that changed racing-even in defeat. In the cutthroat world of motorsport, innovation doesn't always guarantee survival. Sometimes it's the most brilliant, daring, and unconventional ideas that are shut down the fastest.

With vivid storytelling, in-depth research, and a deep love of racing, this is a celebration of motorsport's most notorious rulebreakers-because sometimes the most important cars are the ones that didn't last.
