A blend of entertaining storytelling, brutal honesty and high drama, Irish racing driver Derek Daly’s memoir is a page-turner. His meteoric rise from a modest background in Dublin to the heights of Formula 1 is a story of relentless determination and unbridled talent, but when he reached motor racing’s pinnacle — ultimately with the top-notch Williams team in 1982 — his success story started to unravel, partly because of numerous and sometimes horrifyingly spectacular crashes often caused by car breakages. He made a clean break and went to America, where he raced Indycars and sports cars before metamorphosing into a hugely popular TV commentator, interviewer and pundit. Now, in his own words, he has put the entire rollercoaster of his life into a spellbinding autobiography that all racing fans will love.
About the Author:
Following two previous books about race-winning techniques (Race to Win) and team tactics for success (A Champion’s Path), Derek Daly has turned his writing talents to his own life in motorsport and beyond. Among many testimonials for Race to Win, racing legend Mario Andretti said, “Derek’s book teaches lessons it took guys like me years to learn.” The author divides his time between homes in Carmel, Indiana and Phoenix, Arizona.
