A revealing account of the BRM epic - the cars, and the people who designed, built and drove them. An eyewitness insight into life as it really was on the Grand Prix circuit, from the 1950s to the present day - the triumphs and tragedies, the round-the-clock pre-race preparations, and the boisterous parties. Features first-hand stories of the famous drivers, in particular Graham Hill, with whom the author developed a special rapport. Describes Rudd's 20 eventful years with Lotus, during which he travelled all round the world building up the Engineering Division into a highly profitable venture, latterly also running Team Lotus to try to revive its failing fortunes.
