My books

Déjà contributeur de plusieurs ouvrages collectifs, je me suis lancé en 2004 dans mon premier projet complet et ce fut une véritable révélation ! Au-delà de l’exercice d’écriture qui permet de raconter une histoire dans la longueur, j’adore mettre en place un concept éditorial et coordonner l’ensemble d'un projet, des choix iconographiques à la réalisation de la maquette. 

GUIDE DE LA FORMULE 1 2024

Following the Le grand livre de la Formule 1 success, Marabout requested Jean-Louis Moncet and me to present the 2024 Formula 1 season. We took up the challenge!

CAR RACING 1970

It is a pleasure that remains intact - and an honor - to participate in this sumptuous Car Racing collection that revisits the unpublished archives of the DPPI photographic agency. For this opus dedicated to the 1970 season, I wrote six stories devoted to Jochen Rindt, Bruce McLaren, Porsche's victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Tour de France Auto, the filming of the movie Le Mans and Florida.

LE GRAND LIVRE DE LA FORMULE 1 

When French TV legend Jean-Louis Moncet asked me to lend him a hand in writing this Grand Livre de la F1, I didn't hesitate for long! I wrote the 1961-1982 section and took charge of all the pages featuring the infographics for which I wrote the briefs and drew the roughs. For this book, we received the Bellecour Academy special award, which has been rewarding the best books devoted to automobiles for forty years.

CAR RACING 1969

For the 1969 volume of the Car Racing collection, I proposed and wrote six stories dedicated to the Porsche 917, the Canam championship, Jean Vinatier, the wings in Formula 1, Jackie Stewart and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

CAR RACING 1968

Very honored that Johnny Rives thought of me to take charge of four of the six stories written for this fourth opus of the sumptuous Car Racing collection which revisits the archives of the DPPI agency. I proposed and wrote subjects dedicated to the beginning of sponsorship, Vic Elford, Graham Hill and the grim reaper who struck so much that year.

PORSCHE AU MANS, 24 histoires pour un mythe

Published on the occasion of the return of the German brand to the great Endurance classic, this book evokes the history of Porsche in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. A very vast subject! Also, rather than embarking on an academic historical approach that is not very compatible with the 148 pages allocated, I preferred to select 24 stories recounting the highlights of the brand.

DES TURBOS ET DES DUELS, la Formule 1 des années 80

In the same collection as the Des héros et des stars book, this book reviews the 80s decade according to the same formula, that is to say by highlighting a major story per year, then a composite double page, as well as a verbatim double page  taken from the Sport Auto of the time, etc.

DES HEROS ET DES STARS, la Formule 1 des années 70 

Sport auto entrusted me with the production of this book commissioned by the FNAC superstore. Using the magazine's archives and some first hand interviews, I concocted an editorial concept that was very well received. I enjoyed reviewing all the images from the DPPI agency and choosing an iconography that best captured the atmosphere of this period.

GRAND PRIX DE FRANCE, un siècle en histoires

I took the opportunity of the centenary of the Formula 1 French Grand Prix in 2006 to embark on my first full-length project. Rather than opting for an encyclopedic approach, I opted for a selection of stories likely to pique the curiosity of the greatest number of people. This first attempt was very enthusiastically received . A partnership with the Automobile Club de France gave me access to incredible photo archives.
