Derek Warwick’s rise to the top of motorsports began unconventionally, in UK stock-car racing where he became a World Champion aged 19. He drove in Formula 1 between 1981 and 1993, with the Toleman, Renault, Brabham, Arrows, Lotus and Footwork teams. He also had two spells in top-level endurance sports cars, winning the Sportscar World Championship and the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1992, and finishing runner-up in that series in 1986 and 1991. After retiring from driving, he has continued to be prominent in the sport, notably as a past president of the British Racing Drivers’ Club and currently as an FIA-appointed driver steward in Formula 1. David Tremayne has spent his career in motorsport journalism, with such notable roles as executive editor of Motoring News, long-time Grand Prix correspondent for The Independent and The Independent on Sunday, and co-founder of GrandPrix+, the sport’s first and fastest e-magazine. He has written over 50 books, including the award-winning Donald Campbell: The Man behind the Mask, a major biography of the speed king. He is a three-times winner of the Guild of Motoring Writers’ ‘Journalist of the Year’ award. In August 2017 he averaged 275mph during a test run prior to challenging the 301mph UK land-speed record, walking away with just a cut knuckle after a crash at 250mph, and vowing to try again.
