From Bookfinder ; Jody Scheckter is one of South Africa's greatest sports stars of the 70s and has had a meteoric climb to fame. Since starting his career on the track in a somewhat battered Renault R8, to 1974 when he was within an ace of winning the Formula One drivers' world championship only 6 years have elapsed. What circumstances were responsible for Jody's rapid climb from obscurity to the position of respect he holds on the tracks of the world and among motor racing fans and the drivers themselves? How does it feel to attempt to don the mantle of probably one of the greatest ever Formula One drivers in the world, Jackie Stewart? What goes on behind the scenes at Elf-Tyrrell, McLaren and the other great marques? All the background to motor racing is here and includes discussion about the tracks of the world, safety, fitness, managers, mechanics, designers of the great drivers of today. The agony and anguish, joy and jubilation, tension and torment all form part of the everyday life of this top-class driver.
