In this meaty paperback, published to mark the tenth anniversary of Ayrton Senna's death, Christopher Hilton marries and updates four of his earlier titles about the legendary driver into one volume of more than 100,000 words. He chronicles Senna's entire story, from the wealthy childhood in Brazil to his fatal crash in 1994.

It is a fast-moving and comprehensive account of an extraordinary life that will appeal to the wider public as well as to Senna fans.

Small, unfashionable, short of money and the last of their kind to become a force in Grand Prix racing. The story of Toleman is not only fascinating and improbable – it has never been told before.   This was the team that took Ayrton Senna into Formula 1, to which he responded by creating a masterpiece of movement at Monaco. It is still talked about. This was the team that launched Derek Warwick, one of the most popular and accomplished men in British motor sport. This was the team that brought Rory Byrne, Ferrari’s design genius, to sudden prominence. This was the team that enabled Pat Symonds, Renault’s race tactician, to construct his career.  And this is the whole story. Lavishly illustrated, the book retraces the narrative from the very beginning and covers the dramas, heartbreaks and triumphs of each racing season in detail. It is full of poignant memories never published before, as well as hilarious anecdotes and penetrating insights.

Clay Regazzoni was a complete gentleman off the track, but tough on it. He was a pure racer and dedicated himself to that. He was a Grand Prix driver throughout the 1970s, during which time he spent six seasons with Ferrari, where he partnered such as Jacky Ickx, Mario Andretti and Niki Lauda. He also drove Le Mans and the Indy 500. In 1979 he gave the Williams team its maiden Grand Prix victory when he won the British GP at Silverstone. At Long Beach the next season, driving an Ensign, he crashed so badly that he spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. From the wheelchair he helped develop hand-controlled cars which he could race and he taught others to drive and race too.  He also became a champion of the disabled in general and an inspirational figure to them. He regained a competition license and, incredibly, took part in the Paris-Dakar rally as well as sports cars at places like Sebring. He also commentated on Swiss and Italian television.
