Ernest,
There are several good books that cover all this.
Probably the best all round book would be "The Ford That Beat Ferrari"
Its a large book with lots of color pix, the history of the design, a page or two about each chassis, coverage of each race and each race team.
Then there is the Ronnie Spain book "GT-40", it covers the same data but most black & white photos.
Also, if you can find it, there is a Shelby GT-40 book, that covers these areas as well.
