For all you F1 history buffs, a friend just found some copies of, "Strictly
Off the Record" by Louis T Stanley at a local (USA) bookstore - for US$6
each (remaindered). Lou was the team manager for BRM all through the 50's
60's & 70's and he is a huge personality in F1 to the present. Lots of
great stories and pictures -- recommended...if you can find a copy!
Best Wishes,
-- Doug
I picked up 'Chasing the Title' by Nigel Roebuck today and just finished
'Mechanics Tale' by Steve Matchett. The Matchett book was ok, but I think
his first book may be more interesting. Details the 1994 Benetton
championship season. Both are out of print and hard to find.
