Re-issued in tribute to the late Gerry Marshall, one of the greatest personalities ever to grace the British club motorsport scene, this wonderfully entertaining book, first published in 1978, captures perfectly the character of one of life's great entertainers. Gerry's outrageous behaviour, humour, outspokenness and legendary capacity for alcohol combined to ensure that no social event with his presence will ever be forgotten, while his amazing car control, tenacity and natural showmanship provided wonderful entertainment for thousands of racegoers over a 40-year career in which he won more than 600 races. A celebration of the life of one of motor racing's all too rare characters.

"A fitting tribute to the big man" Motorsport News
