Race drivers are a breed unto themselves. How many people can sit for three hours, in 55°C temperatures, in three layers of clothes, with a heart rate of 160 beats per minute and not totally lose it?
In Legends of Speed, respected commentator Bill Woods takes us on a journey that begins with two pioneers who shaped their sport from either side of the world. From the roots of their success a sequence of stories grew, the branches reaching every level of motor racing and weaving through all of its major evolutions. This is not just a tale of individual achievements but remarkable associations and, in some cases, coincidence. There's Tony Gaze, the RAF fighter ace who became Australia's first Formula 1 driver and survived the most destructive days of motor racing. There's Sir Jack Brabham, winner of three Formula 1 titles and the only driver ever to win the championship in a car of his own construction; and there's Alan Jones, the playboy racer who won the Formula 1 title in 1980 and helped forge a winning dynasty at Williams. Throw in other names like:
Peter Brock
Mark Webber
Frank Gardner
Allan Moffat
Kevin Bartlett
Dick Johnson
Frank Matich
Bob Jane
