This fascinating autobiography follows the life of professional racing driver and motorsport writer Paul Frere, and the cars he has owned, driven and tested throughout his lifetime. Packed with technical detail and personal anecdotes, this extraordinarily detailed record tells of buying his first car, a 2LTS Ballot; his race debut in the Spa 24 Hours sharing an MG with Jacques Swaters and finishing fourth in class; F1 in the 1950s racing for HW Motors and Ferrari; winning Le Mans in 1960; and driving and developing Japanese cars.
The writer takes auto styling from just a jumble of parts to the sleek styling of the 1949 Ford which, he says, set the standard of modern day autos. If you're on the fence about it because of the price, it's well worth the money for the convenience of how fast it is to use!. Accepting bourgeois ideas and values is extremely easy; but perceiving without "them" may be a very arduous "affair" for one who, via his family, was "brought up" to merely be "them". It recapitulates the essentials of the Ford story, though it glances over the evolution of management and organization at the company. Frère could drive just about anything, witness his first overall at the Spa 24-hour race in 1952 in an Oldsmobile Rocket 88 and his class win at the 1953 Mille Miglia in Italy driving a 1953 Chrysler Saratoga Coupe. It could probably be updated, like a previous reviewer stated, but it is still very helpful when determining royalty rates. This book might have an appropriate level of explanation
