Fitz, My Life At The Wheel by Book

Weight 1.6kg by John Fitzpatrick
John Fitzpatrick enjoyed a very successful 22-year career as a racing driver but initially he had hoped to become a professional golfer. As an 18-year-old he had stopped for fuel at Ralph Broad’s garage in his modified Mini and this chance meeting led to the young ‘Fitz’ trying his hand at circuit racing and the foundation of the Broadspeed racing team. A few years later another chance meeting saw another fruitful relationship develop with Kremer and the experience with them and Porsches ultimately led to retirement from racing at the age of 40 to concentrate on team management. The whole story is told in the man’s own words and is written in a light conversational style which really engages the reader and the story is superbly illustrated with photos from the family archives and numerous other sources.
