Dal 1894, quando la storia colorata delle corse automobilistiche iniziò con un botto (e un botto!), piloti, corridori e lunatici hanno fatto molte cose stupide e bizzarre, tutto in nome dello sport motoristico. L'autore Geoff Tibballs ha raccolto questa avvincente raccolta di storie da oltre un secolo di corse automobilistiche in tutto il mondo, tra cui il francese che guidò 25 miglia in retromarcia, il Gran Premio in cui i piloti in testa erano così avanti che si fermarono per un pasto ai box, la 24 ore di Le Mans vinta da un'auto rattoppata con un chewing gum e il pilota che bevve sei bottiglie di champagne, praticamente una per pit-stop, sulla strada per vincere la 500 Miglia di Indianapolis. Le storie in questo libro sono bizzarre, affascinanti, esilaranti e, soprattutto, vere. Rivisto, riprogettato e aggiornato per una nuova generazione di appassionati di motori, questo libro contiene abbastanza storie straordinarie ma vere da far impazzire chiunque.
