By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life of Spice: The Autobiography of Gordon Spice (Hardcover)
Two fine motorsport titles are 'must' acquisitions for any serious library where patrons demand great car racing books. Gordon Spice's LIFE OF SPICE; THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF GORDON SPICE tells of a driver who blended his successful business career with 23 years of professional driving. He won four consecutive FIA World Endurance Drivers' titles in the 80s driving sportscars produced by his own engineering company and he here provides an outstanding survey of his own life and achievements, discussing how innovations led to his business success and long-time involvement in the motor sports industry.

This review is from: Life of Spice: The Autobiography of Gordon Spice (Hardcover)
I don't read a lot of books but this one was full of worthwhile humorous stories, sometimes a bit askew or off colored as that's how life is. Highly recommended whether you are a road track race fan or not.
