๐ The Scoop
This book presents 100 short biographies (averaging 1,400 words each) of the author's personal choice of motor racing heroes. It is an eclectic collection as there are some little-known names in among the expected greats, and this is where - we believe - the appeal of this book lies. Racing drivers with particularly colorful or unusual histories are included, such as Woolf Barnato (one of the Bentley Boys), Robert Benoist (the French ace whom the Nazis shot during WW2) and Prince Bira (the Siamese royal who died impoverished on Barons Court underground station in 1985). There are one or two heroes who even the most ardent motor racing enthusiasts will not have heard of, such as David Bruce-Brown, an obscure American driver who was killed in a racing accident in 1912. There are two women from the pre-war era when some females were able to challenge the men: Elisabth Junek (who finished second on the Targa Florio) and Hellรฉ Nice. And there are a few non-drivers, such as Mercedes-Benz team manager Alfred Neubauer and Ecurie Ecosse team owner David Murray.
