From the Publisher:
Few racing careers span the greatest decades in sports car competition and fewer still were consistently successful. John Horsman is one of the lucky. He was hired by John Wyer at Aston Martin after he graduated from Cambridge University. In 1964 Wyer and Horsman moved to Ford's GT40 program, then later were hired by Porsche to run the fearsome 917s. During this period their Gulf-sponsored teams won Le Mans twice and the championship three times. Horsman's keen observations of people and detailed accounts of tests and races are delivered in an engaging and entertaining manner that brings this glorious era to life.
