Author Biography

The author began writing about motor racing, Grand Prix racing in particular, after he retired from a career in the insurance industry in London.  He has followed the sport since childhood and took many photographs as a young man which were published by Veloce in 2005, revised and reprinted in 2007 - 'Motor Racing. Reflections of a Lost Era'.  Contributions to other works followed.  The author built up an intimate knowledge of the sport and it's personalities at a time when it was open to the enthusiast.  Access to the paddock was always possible and the author has since been privileged to draw upon the experiences of numerous personalities he came to recognise all those years ago.  That knowledge has been put to good use in these pages'.
