Contributors include several racing drivers, an engine tuner, a team mechanic, a marshal and an officer of the law.

Most of their tales, like the photographs accompanying them, have never previously been published. – the young man who built himself a kit-car so that he could go motor racing and went on to become a works driver for two of the top sports car teams of the day. – memories of Mike Hawthorn by a friend who knew him before he was famous, who shared his love of Riley sports cars and who owns Mike’s car to this day.
