Product Description

Synopsis
This autobiography is a human account of the motor racing scene. When Innes Ireland decided to write it, after his experience among the world's fastest men and motor cars, there emerged an intensely personal record of seven years of sweat and danger, laughter and pain, success and tragedy. Ireland is outspoken, almost painfully candid about himself and the men he met, drank with and finally, diced with on race tracks throughout the world. Other racing men have written their books but, says Ireland, "Most of them are about as interesting as a Motor Show catalogue." His is no catalogue. It is as "hairy" - to use one of his own apt phrases - as some of his early cars he drove. The book reflects Ireland's high-spirited approach to motor racing, for he was of the old school of drivers - the men who pushed their machines to the absolute limit for the sheer joy of driving. Of all the drivers who raced in the Moss-Brabham-Hill-Surtees-Clark era, Ireland had probably the noisiest, most hilarious and easily the most hair-raising career of all. Victories, crashes, incidents and the women hangers-on - Ireland talks candidly and humorously about them all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book ever by a racing driver, 5 Jul 1999
By A Customer
By turns hilarious, poignant, thought-provoking and deeply moving, Ireland's autobiography covers the joys and terrors of racing in the fifties and sixties, and his own tempestuous life, in much entertaining detail. An eloquent and thrilling story told by a natural raconteur. Unmissable.
