Description: This long overdue work tells `the Real Story` behind motor racing legend Sir Jack Brabham. The book presents a fascinating account of his life, including unpublished material detailing his early racing career on dirt tracks and road circuits in Australia. It then goes on to cover his incredible career from 1953-1970 which saw him win three Formula 1 Driver`s World Championship titles, multiple F2 Championships, become the world`s first dominant manufacturer of single-seater racing cars and the first - and so far only - driver to win a World Title in a car bearing his own name.

The Jack Brabham Story is lavishly illustrated with photographs, memorabilia and superb full-colour photographs of his racing cars. Written in conjunction with the noted motoring historian Doug Nye, it`s highly entertaining but the detailed narrative will appeal to both racing enthusiasts and a general readership.
