The Lost Generation
The 1970s was a great decade for British racing drivers, but it was also the era in which the nation lost a generation of brilliant young drivers – Roger Williamson, Tony Brise and Tom Pryce – in tragic accidents.

It makes for poignant but uplifting reading.

The Science of Safety

A flurry of regulation changes followed. In The Science of Safety David Tremayne examines the philosophy and technology behind F1's ever-evolving regulations, and talks to the men who have helped raise safety standards to a new level. Contains statistics on driver deaths and technical advances.
Jim Clark
Jim Clark was a genuine sporting hero. He won 25 of his 72 Grands Prix and in the sixties was the yardstick by which every other driver on the starting grid was judged, and by which they judged themselves. Quite simply, Clark was peerless. Stubborn and notoriously indecisive outside the car, he would nervously chew his fingernails, but he was a genius when he got behind the wheel. To many he remains the greatest racing driver of all time, not just because of his fearsome strike rate and the magnitude and manner of his achievements, but also because he remained humble and unspoiled throughout. Published on the 50th anniversary of Clark's death, this book, 20 years in the making, is a deeply detailed look at a complex and compelling character.
