Product Description

Product Description
For 50 years, Barrie 'Whizzo' Williams has been thrilling motor racing crowds with his outstanding talent on the circuit and great sense of humour off the track. He has raced and rallied with great success, starting in 1957. He has had a life full of adventure, excitement, success and a few bumps. This is his story. When discussing the title for this book, he said: 'Should we call it 'Whizzo' the first 50 years?' Still racing with as much speed and determination as ever, he is currently president of the British Motorsport Marshals' Club. 'I've raced every year, I've never stopped racing,' said Barrie. 'I don't know what I'd do without racing. I don't know what else to do. It's my way of life. I'll drive anything with four wheels. I race to win, but if I don't it's not the end of the world. With a bit of luck, there's always another race.' This book, which includes 200 photos - many never published before - attempts to capture the successes, the failures, the adventures, the people, the places and the laughs that have made for a remarkable five decades.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Whizzo Read!, 12 Jul 2009
A throughly good read relating to the fun days of motor racing. Excellent photographs from his varied motor racing career. I couldn't put the book down.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good effort, 12 May 2009
By C. J. Scholfield - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a good effort on a racing driver who I admired when I used to watch, and occasionally marshal, club racing nearly every weekend. The early part of the book is most interesting and shows well how he became a success, almost in spite of himself. The later sections are pretty much a list of the events he competed in and doesn't have much flesh on it's bones.
