This sweeping narrative brings together the brilliance of Selwyn Edge, the record-breaking crusades of Sir Malcolm Campbell, the daring of Stirling Moss and James Hunt, and the modern excellence of Hamilton, Norris, and Russell.More than a chronicle of race results, this is a story of courage, craftsmanship, rivalry, and national identity, told through the lens of the drivers who risked everything for speed and glory. From forgotten hillclimbs to global championships, this book celebrates the men-and women-who shaped Britain’s automotive soul and made racing part of its cultural fabric.
