About this book

World champion at last, and winner of a record number of races in any one season, Nigel Mansell is arguably Britain's greatest racing driver ever. This book describes the fine-tuning of man and machine, the action behind the scenes, the triumphs over adversity and record-breaking victories that led up to the year's dramatic bid for motor racing's most glittering prize. With a detailed exploration of the structure and organization of the Williams team, and the many circuits tackled world-wide, Nigel Mansell reveals the strategies and personal strengths that have taken him to the top. Illustrated with over 180 colour photographs, many previously unpublished, this is the story of a man whose dedication, determination and courage have brought him the admiration and affection of the nation.
