The life of the supremely talented Australian racing driver Paul Hawkins was cut tragically short at Oulton Park in 1969, but in his cruelly shortened life and career he made a lasting impression on those around him, on and off the track. This thoroughly entertaining biography tells the story of a man whose talents behind the wheel were only eclipsed by his charm and outspokenness out of the car. Famed for a vocabulary that would make a sailor blush, mayhem was never far away and many of the anecdotes from friends and acquaintances are absolutely hilarious. Perhaps not one to read in a public place!
