Synopsis

Motor racing drivers are complex characters. They are loners, and yet they are part of a team. They are mostly instinctive and reactive, yet they must plan and analyse the minutiae of their car and driving style. Glamour is all around them, and so is temptation, yet the modern driver must lead a monastic life. They are under the media microscope in a highly pressurised environment. "Racing Driver" is a wonderful new book that sees racing through a driver's eyes, heart and soul. What goes on in their head? How does it feel to race, push the throttle and hit 200mph, then brake down to 60mph? How does the body feel? How do they play? Who are their friends? Who do they love and hate?
