It Was Fun! My Fifty Years of High Performance

Rating:
Summary: Loaded with detail - what a career!
Review: I've read lots of books about the personalities involved in British motorsport and the British car industry in general. This was the best. Heavy on detail regarding BRM from the V16 F1 car of the early fifties to the rear engined cars of the mid to late sixties. It has several excellent chapters on Rudd's time at Lotus after this and is the best description of the Lotus companies from the early seventies into the eighties I've seen. Heavy in engineering detail, light on the biographical aspects. Good info on everything from the Lotus powerboat efforts to engineering's involvement with the Chevy Corvette. Very dense with facts - not an easy read but well worth the effort.
