How do you compare racing’s greats?

Angus Dougall approaches a familiar motorsport argument as a question of evidence: which results and performance measures can be used to compare drivers across the sport’s history? The book combines accounts of leading drivers with anecdotes about circuits, constructors, racing politics and the people around them. Extensive appendices provide race-result lists, driver-performance charts and car analysis for those who want to inspect the detail behind its conclusion. Its central distinction is between a favorite driver and a greatest driver—a judgment Dougall seeks to make through his chosen statistics, while leaving the basis of that judgment visible.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Motor racing fans interested in debates about the greatest driver
  • Readers who like statistics alongside racing history
  • Readers interested in the people and institutions around drivers
