In his Foreword to the book Nigel Mansell (the most successful British F1 driver of all time in terms of race wins with 31 victories) writes: "The British Grand Prix crowds occupy a unique place in the hearts of the British drivers who, like me, are ranked amongst its winners. Of all the events in the calendar it is the one they most want to win because, in spite of the noise of the cars and the insulating effect of the helmets, they can feel the enthusiasm of the crowd which is worth a second a lap to them."
In this, the author's second book based on his remarkable collection of photographs and memorabilia, he recreates the `up-close' excitement of the paddock and the pits during the twelve British Grands Prix races held at Silverstone, and one at Brands Hatch.
As with his book When Motor Racing Was Fun, the author's almost unique relationship with the team owners and drivers, coupled with his inexhaustible passion for the sport of motor racing, provides the reader with an insight rarely achieved. His superb collection of personal photographs, the detail of his recollections and his boundless enthusiasm is transferred here to the page, bringing the reader `Closer to the Action' of some of the most exciting and innovative years of British motor sport.

About the Author
priest in the Diocese ofWinchester for
nearly 50 years. His passion for motor
racing was ignited at the age of twelve
by a visit to Goodwood in 1949. He
corresponded with Raymond Mays,
who was both the originator of the
E.R.A. and the instigator of the B.R.M.
project in the 1950s, and in later years
was the guest of KenTyrrell in the pits
at Silverstone.
His paintings of racing cars and
drivers from the earliest days of the
Sport, and which appear inWhen
Motoring RacingWas Fun, are wonderful
evocations of their period and they
have led to lasting friendships with
many of the most famous racing
drivers from before and after the
SecondWorldWar.
