Englishman David Hobbs--'Hobbo' to his friends and fans--is one of motor racing's most remarkable all-rounders. In a 31-year driving career he raced in almost every imaginable category: endurance sports racers, touring cars, Formula 1, Formula 5000, Indycars, IMSA, Trans-Am, Can-Am and even NASCAR--he has done the lot. And on top of that he has been a television commentator in America for nearly 40 years, bringing wit and wisdom to the screen, latterly as part of NBC's Formula 1 team. Now, at last, this very popular racer has put down all his experiences in this highly readable memoir that will be welcomed by racing enthusiasts on both sides of the Atlantic.

David Hobbs is a superb all-round race driver who had a very long career in racing, from 1959 to 1990. He competed in almost every form of racing worldwide, from Formula 1 to the Indy 500, from World Championship sports car racing to Can-Am, from NASCAR to Trans-Am. An Englishman, he achieved much of his success in the United States and settled there with his family, with homes nowadays in Vero Beach, Florida and Milwaukee, Wisconsin; he has a car dealership, David Hobbs Honda, in Glendale, Wisconsin. For the past 40 years he has also been a well-known TV commentator, latterly for NBC covering Formula 1.
