An award-winning book having been described as the most detailed and authoritative history of a grand prix team ever published, this first volume of a planned four-volume set covers BRMs tortured birth, the complexities of the troublesome V16 cars and their replacement with the 4-cylinder 2.5-litre cars of the 1950s. The teams creator Raymond Mays, its great benefactor Alfred Owen and BRM drivers of the calibre of Moss, Fangio, Brooks and Gonzales figure prominently in this remarkable saga, for which the authors have had access to and permission to reproduce documents from the companys private archive.
