Description
Carlos Sainz is more than a two-time World Rally Champion-he is one of motorsport's greatest ever competitors. El Matador: The Racing Life of Carlos Sainz is the definitive biography of the Spanish icon whose career spanned over four decades, transforming rallying in Spain and leaving an indelible mark on the global racing world. From the dusty stages of the WRC to the unforgiving terrain of the Dakar Rally, Sainz's story is one of discipline, determination, and unparalleled adaptability.
Told in a rich, fact-driven narrative, this book chronicles Sainz's rise from national hopeful to world champion, his legendary rivalries with the likes of Colin McRae and Tommi Mäkinen, and his late-career reinvention in cross-country rallying-culminating in a historic Dakar victory with Audi's electric-assisted prototype at the age of 61. It also explores his role as a mentor, team builder, and father to Formula One star Carlos Sainz Jr., showcasing the mindset and methods behind his lasting success.
This is not just the story of a driver-it is the story of a man who reshaped modern rallying and became a living symbol of excellence, endurance, and evolution in motorsport.
