Review
Victory Lane," April 2007 "This is one of the best racing books ever!"
Product Description
This new limited edition continues to reveal, from access to factory records and key personnel, the tortured history of Britain's most emotionally charged and passionately operated Formula 1 racing team. In Volume 3 we enter the monocoque era, when Graham Hill and Jackie Stewart took BRM to grand prix victories in Monaco, Monza and Watkins Glen in the United States. There is also full coverage of the important Tasman series of races in Australasia, the last of the Le Mans Rover turbine activities and BRM's involvement in hitherto secret projects with Chrysler Corporation and the UK government. Comprehensive race results and technical specifiications augment the text of nearly 250,000 words. Having unique access to the BRM company files, the authors were able to delve deeply into the emotion-charged background to all these activities, and fortuitously Tony Rudd's invaluable input to the text had been completed prior to his sad and unforeseen death.

As with the others in the series this will be an excellent book. I have had this book on order for a very long time. It was ordered because of the excellent price that Amazon offered - almost too good to be true. I knew the book was not published when I ordered - DEC 2007 is the latest estimate, its with the printers as I write this (Sep 2007). Amazon have cancelled my order saying the book is unavailable. They have not responded to my emails so I'm off to Chaters who put customer service first.

I purchased this on behalf of my sister for her husband's birthday, he was very pleased with it. The price was reasonable. It arrived quickly.

I was surprised at how much of this book was simply given over to Tony Rudd's contemporary race reports. While these are very interesting I couldn't help but think that Doug Nye was having a bit of a free ride. I hope his late co-author's estate has been suitably recompensed. In general I felt that the book was not up to the standard of the first two volumes.
