LOLA - All the Sports Racing Cars 1978-1997 New Paperback Edition

Esa, who was born in 1951, felt he had to follow a respectable career path and so, despite his other interests, studied law. After freelancing for European motorsport publications for over 20 years, he gave up practising law in the '90s, concentrating fully on journalism and PR instead. He is now semi-retired, but continues to write books about the motorsport industry.
