Many books have been written about
motor racing by famous drivers, team
managers, mechanics and journalists. Each
one has contributed something extra to
describe the fascinating sport which carries
on despite tragedies and deaths. For when
the faint-hearted call 'enough' there are
many others willing to close the ranks. And
yet motor racing has its lighter side, when
everything goes well and drivers are re-
laxed.
In this book Peter Miller brings a fresh
approach and tells the inside story of races
all over the world, from both behind the
wheel and the pit counter. He recalls the
stark terror of the ill-fated 1955 Le Mans
race in France when 81 people were killed
in front of his eyes and gives some new
evidence which absolves the late Mike
Hawthorn from blame for the accident
which led to tragedy.
Peter Miller spent some years in the
competition department of Rootes and
went on to become assistant racing man-
ager of the Aston Martin team during their
world-wide chase for the sports car manu-
facturers championship. His story from
the ringside brings the reader into intimate
contact with the motor racing scene and
The Fast Ones' who dedicate, and some-
times give, their lives to the sport they love.
