To Finish First: Inside The Golden Years of Motor

The 1960s and '70s were the golden years of motor racing and Phil Kerr was part of that world. This book tells the inside story of those years - the triumphs and the tragedies, the deals and the disasters. From Phil's early years in Auckland and his teenage friendship with Bruce McLaren, through their first years away from New Zealand achieving better and greater things in motor sport, and on to the inside workings of those two great racing teams, the text is accompanied by plentiful colour and black and white photos, many never published before. Contents include: The Early Years; Driver to Europe; Working for Jack; Racing with Brabham; Stirling's crash; Brabham's Winning Years; Back with Bruce; Classic Races; The First Big Deal; 1970 - the Nightmare; After Bruce; McAlfa; The Sponsors and the Deals; The Comeback; The Indy case; Fulfilling Bruce's Dream; The Final Season; Coming Home.
