Just to add to this topic from a while back;

They showed Barry Sheene interviewing Tony Cochrane in 1997. Tony explains that he and James Erskine have left IMG to form their own company.

Came across this at my local library (wasnt planning on buying this except if it was slashed in price so a good thing eh?). Im suprised, its better then I thought, although there's not much in the book thats particularly controversial or groundbreaking, its an interesting read regardless.

There is wonderful photography in the book, especially of earlier years and one photo of the grid shows how far we've come and its surprising to see who's in that pic and who is still racing.

Is this the same Paul Gover who wrote the glowing report in the Canberra Times about the polariser in 1987? The same Paul Gover who's often refferred to as 'Lionheart' due to his undying love of the Holden brand?? Yeah, that'd be a balanced piece of journolism............
