In a hugely ambitious project, Gerald Donaldson has assembled a team of specialists to record the voices of the major players on the circuit today. The voices of the drivers, their wives and girlfriends, the mechanics and engineers, the team bosses, all those involved in the tension-filled emotionally charged circus that is Formula 1 are recorded for the first time. The words of legendary figures from the past have also been recorded to create a definitive yet very personal historical record of the triumphs and disasters of over fifty years of Formula 1. Over 500 illustrations from a wealth of unusual and personal sources give a totally fresh insight into this spectacular sport.

Gerald Donaldson was born in Canada and has been covering Formula 1 for over 25 years during which time his work as a newspaper and magazine journalist and as a radio and TV commentator have made him one of the most highly respected media personalities - 'the best' according to Murray Walker - in the sport.
