World champion at last, and winner of a record number of races in any one season, Nigel Mansell is arguably Britain's greatest racing driver ever. This book describes the fine-tuning of man and machine, the action behind the scenes, the triumphs over adversity and record-breaking victories that led up to the year's dramatic bid for motor racing's most glittering prize. With a detailed exploration of the structure and organization of the Williams team, and the many circuits tackled world-wide, Nigel Mansell reveals the strategies and personal strengths that have taken him to the top. Illustrated with over 180 colour photographs, many previously unpublished, this is the story of a man whose dedication, determination and courage have brought him the admiration and affection of the nation.

This is a personal account of sporting endeavour by Britain's leading racing driver who in both 1986 and 1987 was a luckless runner-up in the Formula One World Championship. Mansell made his Formula One debut in 1980, but had to wait until 1985 for his first Grand Prix victory and then won 13 in two phenomenal years. In 1986 his Championship challenge was sabotaged by a spectacular tyre blow-out at Adelaide and in 1987 by a crash in Japan. Mansell recalls the accidents, the day he was given the last rites and how he has come to terms with the deaths of colleagues on the track. His wife also describes what it is like to be the wife of a man who risks his life every time he goes to work.
