Synopses & Reviews
The life of the supremely talented Australian racing driver Paul Hawkins was cut tragically short at Oulton Park in 1969, but in his cruelly shortened life and career he made a lasting impression on those around him, on and off the track. This thoroughly entertaining biography tells the story of a man whose talents behind the wheel were only eclipsed by his charm and outspokenness out of the car. Famed for a vocabulary that would make a sailor blush, mayhem was never far away and many of the anecdotes from friends and acquaintances are absolutely hilarious. Perhaps not one to read in a public place!

At his finest in sportscar racing, he was a factory driver for Ford, Ferrari and Porsche in the same season during an all too short career which ended abruptly and tragically in a fiery accident at Oulton Park, England, in 1969.
