Whizzo: The Motor Sporting Life of Barrie Williams

Synopsis

For 50 years, Barrie 'Whizzo' Williams has been thrilling motor racing crowds with his outstanding talent on the circuit and great sense of humour off the track. He has raced and rallied with great success, starting in 1957. He has had a life full of adventure, excitement, success and a few bumps. This is his story.When discussing the title for this book, he said: 'Should we call it 'Whizzo' the first 50 years?' Still racing with as much speed and determination as ever, he is currently president of the British Motorsport Marshals' Club. 'I've raced every year, I've never stopped racing,' said Barrie. 'I don't know what I'd do without racing. I don't know what else to do. It's my way of life. I'll drive anything with four wheels. I race to win, but if I don't it's not the end of the world. With a bit of luck, there's always another race.' This book, which includes 200 photos - many never published before - attempts to capture the successes, the failures, the adventures, the people, the places and the laughs that have made for a remarkable five decades.
