Martin Brundle Scrapbook
Martin Brundle is known throughout much of the English-speaking world as the voice of Formula One. He was a successful Grand Prix driver for teams such as McLaren, Benetton, Brabham, and Tyrrell. In 1988, he was the World Sportscar Champion, a category in which he reigned supreme.
He first shot to fame when he had an epic tussle for the British Formula Three championship against Ayrton Senna. In identical cars, Brundle beat Senna eight times, led the series, and finally finished a close second after more than 20 thrilling races.
This fascinating book follows Martin's remarkable career that started with banger racing as a child, beating the grown-ups, through touring cars in which he won against some of the biggest names in the sport. He battled with Senna and was an F1 teammate with such legends as Michael Schumacher and Mika Hakkinen. He became a top TV broadcaster, winning many awards, making F1 compelling to watch for tens of millions.
This 256-page book is packed with Brundle's own memorabilia, contributions from more than 50 personalities in the motor racing world, and candid comments that are informative, surprising, revealing, pithy, and humorous. Included is a selection of his great one-liners from TV with ITV, the BBC, and the Sky F1 Channel.

Maserati 3011: Story of a Racing Car
This is the story of one of the most famous racing cars of all time. There are many books on Maserati cars, but this one is unusual. It deals with one particular car - the monoposto 8CM with chassis number 3011. Not only is it an outstanding Maserati, but also an outstanding racing car in every way. In its youth it was driven by some of the most notable drivers in motor racing history, including Whitney Straight, Dick Seaman and Prince Bira. Since it was delivered to its first owner in February 1934, it has rarely stopped racing and has never been out of sight of the racing world. There are no mysteries about its day to day movements, it never disappeared, only to be "discovered" by some remarkable quirk of fate. It has led a straight forward life. By any standards, that life has been one of the most active and interesting of any racing car, and certainly of Maserati racing cars, and this book tells the whole intriguing and fascinating story of its first fifty-two years of activity. It traces all its competitive outings, tells about the owners, the drivers, the mechanics and others who have been involved during its travels and races in ten different countries. It tells of its successes and failures, and the text is accompanied by a complete photographic coverage of its life, from the day it first went out on test in 1934, to its most recent appearances in 1986.
