Gordon Spice's life and his 23-year professional driving career includes politically incorrect, wickedly witty recollections of the racing scene in Europe, Australia, USA and the Caribbean, from the sixties to the eighties. An amusing raconteur, Spice recalls the ups and downs of his dual careers in business and racing. These include creating his own car accessory empire, floating his company on the UK stock exchange, and becoming a successful race car constructor. At the same time Gordon won many national and international championships, participating in 27 24-hour races which included 14 Le Mans and winning the Spa 24 hours in Belgium. A fascinating and humorous read, with the emphasis on entertainment.
