Solex in competition

BOOK WRITTEN IN FRENCH

Back cover:

Forget the usual clichés linked to the Solex! The silhouette, the black, the nonchalant mechanics, the nostalgia. None of that in this book which traces the little-known history of Solex racing from its origins to the present day.

The protagonists are capable of all extravagances for greater performance, of all excesses for the pleasure of mechanics or just for the beauty of the gesture. The author, participant and connoisseur, has dug into his memories and archives to look back on the evolution of the races.

It addresses this economical and local mechanical sport from both the mechanical point of view and that of the organizations, volunteers and drivers. All these people who have been passionate about Solex racing for half a century deserve to have a book dedicated to them.

The industrial history of Vélosolex lasted four decades. The history of racing has lasted for half a century and the future is already on the circuits with the relaunch of the brand.
