Forza Amon!: A Biography of Chris AmonAlso from the UK - Canada
Eoin Young / Hardcover / September 2003

Chris Amon, a New Zealand sheep farmer's son who led the Ferrari team for two seasons in the late 1960s, is remembered in Formula 1 as the best driver never to win a Grand Prix. Yet his contemporary Jackie Stewart rated him 'one of the world's foremost drivers' and Jochen Rindt considered him a true rival. Eoin Young, an ace storyteller, chronicles the life of this extraordinarily unlucky racer who was driving at the age of six, had a pilot's license at 16, and raced a 1954 250F Grand Prix Maserati a year later

Alberto Ascari: Ferrari's First Double Champion

Alberto Ascari: Ferrari's First Double Champion - Also from the UK - Canada
Karl Ludvigsen, Mario Andretti, Rodolfo Mailander (Photographer / Hardcover / November 2000

Italian double world champion, whom the legendary Fangio described as "my greatest opponent", Alberto Ascari raced Bianchi motorcycles, then drove the very first Ferrari T815 sports car in the 1940 Mille Miglia. He won the 1948 San Remo Grand Prix in a Maserati, learning much racecraft from his team-mate Luigi Villoresi. Joining Ferrari in 1950 Ascari had spectacular success, and won back-to-back world titles in 1952 and 1953. A move to Lancia in 1954 proved frustrating as the F1 car was delayed until late that year, but he won the Mille Miglia in a Lancia sports car. At the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix he famously crashed his Lancia D50 into the harbour. Four days later he appeared unexpectedly at Monza to test a Ferrari for the Supercortemaggiore race, but inexplicably crashed the car and was killed

Man With Two Shadows: The Story of Alberto Ascari - Also from the UK - Canada
Kevin Desmond / Hardcover / April 1981

On May 26, 1955 Alberto Ascari should have stayed in bed. Twice World Champion motor racing driver, he had, four days earlier, startled the racing world during the Monaco Grand Prix by plunging off the tarmac fifty feet into the sea below. Now battered and bruised he insisted on taking an unscheduled training run; unfit and without equipment it was totally out of character. "It is better to race again soon after an accident: he told amazed onlookers as he eased into the vehicle... Kevin Desmond has painted a compelling human story of a man at the summit of his profession destroyed by an obsession. Had he survived he would have ranked alongside Fangio, Nuvolari and Stewart as an all-time great; but it was not to be. The Man With Two Shadows will captivate both motor racing enthusiast and amateur psychologist alike.

Gerhard Berger: The Human Face of Formula 1 - Also from the UK - Canada
Ayrton Senna (Foreword), Christopher Hilton / Hardcover / April 1995

On 31 July 1994 the German Grand Prix was won by Gerhard Berger and a legend was reborn. This is the story of the man, popular racing driver, master prankster, and close friend of the late Ayrton Senna. The book follows the Ferrari folk hero, on and off the track, from the early days in the Alphasuds, European Formular 3, and touring cars, through to the start of his 1995 Formula 1 season. It looks at the horrors he has survived - the road crash which almost paralyzed him; the fire at Imola in 1989 at Tamburello, the corner where Senna died.

My Championship Year - Also from the UK - Canada
by Jenson Button / Paperback

 / June 2010

On 4 December 2008, just a few months before the new season was due to start, the Honda Racing F1 team, which Jenson Button had been driving for since 2006, pulled the plug on their involvement in Formula One. The media at the time reported that it was likely that the factory would be forced to shut, and it was unlikely that Jenson would be able to secure a drive at a top team at this late stage. Yet incredibly, in October 2009, Jenson Button was crowned World Champion, and the new team that had risen from the ashes of the Honda Racing F1 team- Brawn GP - secured the constructors' championship in their first season, a feat never before achieved. If this were a movie script you wouldn't believe it possible, so how did it happen? My Championship Year tells Jenson's incredible story of the 2009 season, from being written off pre-season to winning six of the first seven races, and finally securing the championship in brilliant style at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Jenson's personal commentary on the races is combined with notes on strategy, on-board radio exchanges, quotes from the team and even text messages to recreate the atmosphere of each race weekend. With a foreword by Ross Brawn, it is a fascinating account of an extraordinary grand prix year, and shows just what it takes to become world champion.

Jim Clark: a Tribute to a Champion

Jim Clark: a Tribute to a Champion - Also from the UK
Eric Dymock / Hardcover / May 1997

Eric Dymock's acclaimed book celebrates the life and achievements of Jim Clark, world grand prix champion Scottish Motor Racing driver in the 1960s. It is a portrait of the popular motor racing driver and of his racing career by author Eric Dymock who knew him personally.

Refreshed text and a new selection of photographs complete this new edition, which celebrates 50 years since the modest Border farmer won his first World Drivers’ Championship.

The original hardback edition, published in 1997, was quickly nominated as the best account of the life of the double world champion. Classic Cars awarded five stars, nominating it Book of the Month: “Eric Dymock has produced a book rich with anecdotal reminiscences from those who raced with Jim Clark. Dymock has clearly done his research and brings riveting details of the life, background, psychology and raw talent of the man alive.” Andrew Frankel wrote in Motor Sport: “Great though (Jim Clark) was I thought I’d reached the stage when I’d read so many words about him as my lifetime would stand. Not so. Dymock’s book is compelling, not least because its story is told with clear affection that stops short of the fawning adulation with which so many seem obliged to equip themselves before penning a word about dead racing drivers. An engrossing read.” The Automobile: “…compulsive reading and thoroughly recommended”. Classic and Sportscar nominated Jim Clark Best Book of the Year: “Eric Dymock’s celebration of Jim Clark was a totally inspired publication". Clark’s close friend, Ian Scott Watson wrote in Scottish Field: “Jim Clark – Tribute to a Champion is the sort of book you will not lay down until you have read it cover to cover; it is the definitive book on Jim Clark; it is a must for the bookshelves of anyone with an interest in motor sport. It is a book which stands as a remarkable tribute not only to Jim but to its author.”

Judges for the Guild of Motoring Writers Montagu Award agreed. They nominated Jim Clark runner-up for 1997 to the same author’s Saab, 50 Years of Achievement.

Jim Clark: Racing Legend - Also from the UK
Eric Dymock / Paperback / November 2003

Jim Clark was arguably the best driver the world has seen and certainly one of the most versatile.

Clark started 73 races and won 25. He was World Champion in 1963 and 1965 and set Ford on its path to fame by pushing the Cosworth DFV engine to victory on its first F1 outing. He was also the first non-American to win Indianapolis 500.No one understands Jim Clark better than Eric Dymock, fellow Scot, long-time reporter on the racing scene at its highest level. Dymock has brought his definitive biography up to date by including in it what some contemporary heroes have to say about the man, and many previously unpublished photographs., Stunning production - virtual collector's edition, Endorsements from Dan Gurney and David Coulthard., Contains 50 new and unpublished photos.

It Is What It Is: The Autobiography - Also from the UK - Canada
David Coulthard / Paperback / April 2008

From his quiet beginnings in rural Scotland to his multi-millionaire lifestyle in Monte Carlo, where he owns one of the most luxurious hotels in the principality, David Coulthard's life story is an extraordinary one. He got his breakthrough into Formula One in the tragic circumstances of Ayrton Senna's death in 1994, and quickly established himself as one of the best drivers on the circuit. From 1996-2004, he drove for McLaren, one of the leading teams throughout the entire period, before moving to Red Bull for 2005-07.

Taking the reader from his early days when he first became hooked on racing karts at the age of eleven to the high-speed world of Formula One, Coulthard has written one of the most honest and powerful sports autobiographies of recent years. He talks frankly about his ups and downs at McLaren and also about the reputation he gained for his playboy lifestyle. Throughout it all he seeks to answer the questions about himself that anyone might ask, and so to reveal what it is that really drives him on. His struggle to understand himself makes for a remarkable memoir.
