Nigel Mansell My Autobiography

"Nigel Mansell is the most successful British Grand Prix driver in history and, according to the record books, one of the all-time greats. He has been a top box-office draw for over a decade; revered as 'the people's champion', his presence on the grid guarantees a full house while off the circuit, his candid opinions have often seen him on collision course with motor racing pundits and those who control the sport." "In this keenly awaited autobiography, Nigel tells the extraordinary story of his breakthrough and rise to the summit of Formula One, a pressure cooker sport ruled by money, power and political intrigue. He reveals the many false starts including the sale of the family home to stave off financial ruin and an excruciating test-drive with a broken back to seal his elevation to the big league."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
