Meet the Author


Basem Wasef’s interest in racing was sparked when he first encountered a TYCO slot car track as a tyke. His experience as a writer, photographer, and journalist has since taken him inside the world of professional racing, and Legendary Race Cars continues the thread initiated by his first book, Legendary Motorcycles. Basem also contributes to About.com, Popular Mechanics, and American Motorcyclist. Though he enjoys chasing significant and unusual vehicles across the globe, Basem calls Los Angeles home.

    Great Gift

    I bought this book as a gift for a family member. He was a former Porsche race driver in Southern California. He loved it, the perfect coffee table book for his den. Both he and his friends thought it was great a good conversation starter, and told stories about the cars in the book.
