Description

By: Adam Cooper .

 Piers Courage, a rising motor racing star in the 1960s, was the first man to drive for Frank Williams in Formula 1. He died in a Williams-run de Tomaso at the 1970 Dutch Grand Prix. This biography, published in hardback to critical acclaim, chronicles the full racing history of the charismatic Old Etonian, including the wild Formula 3 days when he and his chums roamed Europe, surviving on their wits. The book, written with his family's co-operation, features dozens of people who knew Piers, including Frank Williams, Bernie Ecclestone, Jackie Stewart, Max Mosley, Nina Rindt and, of course, his wife Lady Sarah, daughter of pre-war racer Earl Howe. Joanna Lumley remembers Piers as 'the kindest, grooviest, gentlest man'.

This second edition, updated to mark the 40th anniversary of his death, provides a feast of nostalgia for a bygone era of motor racing.
