Here is a heartfelt thanks giving for 77 Grand Prix drivers who, during the period 1897 to 1986, paid the ultimate price for speed, with their lives. But it is no wake. William Court is positively lyrical as he recalls, with great affection and much anecdote, the ‘summer’s lease’ of his late departed heroes. He examines the drivers’ attitudes to life, risk and death and, while recalling their lives and times in fascinating detail, ponders four concerns seemingly common to them all; foreboding, luck, superstition and coincidence.
