1.Crashed and Byrned: The Greatest Racing Driver You Never Saw by: Tommy Byrne September 04, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.59 You Save: £4.40 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.75
Just extraordinary. What a fantastic read. If you could imagine an unlikely cross between Angela's Ashes and Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas with a loose motor racing backdrop, this is it. It has you in hysterics one moment, full of sadness the next. The most amazing sports biography I've ever read. In fact even if it was a work of fiction, it would still work. If you never buy another book again, you must buy this one.

2.James Whitham: What a Good Do by: James Whitham, Mac McDiarmid July 23, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £18.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £13.29 You Save: £5.70 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.91
I've been a motorbike fan for as long as I can remember but it's only been the last few years that I've got into road racing. So I only know James Whitham from hearing and seeing him commentate on ITV and Eurosport, I never saw him race. I love the race commentary paring of James and Jack Burnicle and the way they joke and interact together. When I saw that this book was being published in Auguist it was one I knew I must have. I'm not a person who reads a lot of biographies but I had a feeling this would be good. When I saw the price that Amazon was selling it for I ordered it straight away. It arrived yesterday nmorning and I read the first chapter last night. I could just hear James narrating it in my head as i read it, it's written just the ... Read More:

3.On The Edge: My Story by: Richard Hammond May 29, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £2.99 You Save: £5.00 (63%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.70
A pleasant book, charting Richard's career rise to Top Gear.Then doing wacky stunts. Richard is quite a nutter,which almost polished him off,in a near fatal crash. It's not the most riveting book I have ever read.That said,the enduring love between Richard,his wife Mindy and their children, really shines through. If ever their was a book upholding family values,this must surely be the one. For that reason alone it is worth the read. Motto of the story, don't drive too fast, don't use remoulds, don't tell J C, don't forget to tell your Missus you love her, especially if you want clean laundry bringing to hospital! Glad he made it through ok.

4.Adventure Motorcycling Handbook (Trailblazer) by: Chris Scott April 26, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.09 You Save: £3.90 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.94
The book has everything you need to know about doing some off-piste motorcycling. It makes some amazing trips sound vaguely feasible. Even for more mundane trips around the UK and Europe it has loads of good stuff about selection of gear and bike. It has loads of good biking stories too.

5.Goodwood Revival: The First Ten Years by: Doug Nye September 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £39.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £27.97 You Save: £11.98 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £20.26
Exceptional and comprehensive account of the Goodwood Revival starting from the circuits early days, and before through to its re-opening in 1998 and the annual festival of nostalgia that is the Goodwood Revival. Captures the atmoshpere, the action through summary race reports, records of starters and finishers and some excellent photography that woud normally grace more expensive books. Recommended.

6.Race to Dakar by: Charley Boorman June 07, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.49 You Save: £2.50 (31%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.81
I don't know anything about motercycles, and could not put this book down! Even though I havn't seen the show I really felt like I was there for the whole journey. Charley does an excellent job of recording his reactions, even when they are all over the place. I really apreciate the honesty he put into the book. The inclusion of so many other Dakar stories really rounds it out, creating a true picture of the race, not just a celebrity's attempt, and would be an exciting, inspiring read no matter who wrote it.

The joy of this book can be summed up by two pictures: The first is on page 141. It is of a Ford Cortina MK3 taking part in a World Sportscar Championship race in South Africa. Such oddity and charm sums up many of the pictures used. There are many images of the expected star cars and players of the decade such as Porsche, Alfa, Matra, but also many of the small teams that entered odd-ball contraptions and threw themselves up against the manufacturing giants at the highest level. The second is a full page shot of what you eventually work out to be the iconic Gulf Porsche 917 car. It takes a while to identify them because they are pictured in a grotty garage workshop, stripped of their iconic pale blue and orange bodywork and ... Read More:

This book had me howling with laughter, and tears rolling down my cheeks. It's the sort of book that makes you realise the dedication (and finance) that is required to reach to top of the motorsport pyramid.
