In this follow-up to his autobiography, Michael Rutter changes his
focus and now reflects on his father's life - the victories,
defeats, scrapes with the law and practical jokes. He also looks at
his father's close brushes with death, including the horrific
career-ending crash of 1985, and its aftermath. The Life of a
Racer, Volume 2: Flesh & Blood is a reflective and sentimental
journey during which Michael tries to learn about his father's life
and career in motorcycle racing, while at the same time asking
himself if his own destiny was always to race too because of his
DNA. Tony Rutter (1942-2020) is best known for his four world TT-F2
championship wins, eight Isle of Man TT wins, nine North West 200
wins, five Ulster Grand Prix wins and two British Championship
titles during his twenty-two-year career - but the man himself has
remained something of an enigma to everyone including his own son,
who himself went on to have a hugely successful career and has kept
the Rutter name alive in the world of motorcycle racing to the
present day. Through his own memories, as well as those of
longstanding teammates and friends, Michael pieces together his
father's values, what mattered to him the most, and his odd -
sometimes maddening - traits. What unfolds is a profile of the man
behind the incredible talent and singular focus of an elite racer.
With a foreword by Carl Fogarty, this is the first-ever book about
one of the finest racers in a great generation of racers, by those
who knew him best and loved him most.
