| | MOTORBOOKS BLOG | Most everyone that has done event coverage of an automotive event has been asked at one time or another, "How do I get my car in your magazine?" There are lots of answers to that question, some serious and some not. Having a nice, photogenic car will help, but that isn't everything. The amount of money spent on your car may make a difference in some circles, but that game isn't for everyone. However, one thing that you can do to level the playing field doesn't cost you a thing. | | | Dear ASD,
We all know someone who can sit down with an acquaintance and get that person to tell his deepest secrets. Simon Taylor is that guy.
A writer, historian, TV and radio commentator and keen historic racing stalwart, Taylor is Motor Sport Magazine editor-at-large and contributor of the "Lunch with..." article each month, in which he invites inspirational and influential figures to sit down for a spot of lunch and a talk. | Motor Sport Greats in Conversation presents in-depth interviews from the "Lunch with ..." series with 24 'motorsport greats,' all characters with a story to tell.
Featured are a who's who of racing. There are world champions: Nigel Mansell, Mario Andretti, Damon Hill, Alan Jones, Jody Scheckter and Keke Rosberg. Top team principals, designers and engineers, such as Ross Brawn, Gordon Murray, Christian Horner and Jo Ramirez, also are spotlighted.
Taylor spent time with each at their favorite pub or restaurant for a good meal and a half-decent bottle, and gently prodded them into opening up their memories and opinions with frank and honest insights about themselves, about the people they'd known and worked with, and about the people they'd raced against. The result is a compelling read, beautifully crafted by one of Britain's top motor sport writers. |
