Description

Wild About Racing

Derek Wild worked for Lotus during one of the most interesting and successful periods in the team’s history.  In Wild About Racing he reminisces about the people and places he encountered during his time there.  As a mechanic on the F1 cars Derek’s work took him around the world, and his descriptions of the journeys required and the circuits visited make for highly entertaining reading.  In addition, there are many fascinating details about day-to-day life at the Lotus factory, plus memories of Lotus founder Colin Chapman and the team’s undoubted star driver, Jim Clark.

Accompanying the text are numerous images taken by Derek, the majority are colour and are published for the first time.

The foreword for the book is written by Jackie Oliver
