Absolutely magnificent account of Archie Scott Brown and one of the best books I have read. Very well written, entertaining and a fabulous story. The challenges A SB faced due to his disabilities, not just in racing but in life were immense, and the spirit with which he met those challenges is remarkable. Archie Scott Brown is now one of my heroes. An extraordinary and courageous man.

Highly recommended.
Yes, that is a great book, especially since Snetterton is my home circuit.

I bought my copy new some years ago & a mutual friend got it signed by Brian Lister for me.
