Patrons Sir Jackie Stewart, David Coulthard, Dario Franchitti and Allan McNish celebrate the new edition, Sir Jackie describing Clark as "...the best racing driver I ever raced with and against". Three times Le Mans winner Allan McNish: "A modern driver winning the British Grand Prix, racing in Formula 2, then at Indianapolis would be unthinkable." David Coulthard: "There is no question that Jim's achievements and Jackie Stewart's input were fundamental to me becoming a professional racing driver." Eric Dymock details Clark's place in motor racing history and total command of Formula 1, portraying him as an individual, nail-biting and insecure, yet the greatest driver in any sort of motor sport.Celebrating the life and achievements of Jim Clark (1936-1968), Formula 1 World Champion 1963 and 1965, this book details his place in motor racing history and his total command at the wheel. From a Scottish farming family, Clark rewrote the annals of American racing at Indianapolis, second at his first attempt in 1963, winning in 1965. Seemingly equal to the odds of the most dangerous eight years at the top of motor racing, Clark died in an unlikely accident in a minor race at Hockenheim on April 7 1968. Genius at the wheel was not enough. Rivals' campaigns for safety thereafter saved countless lives on and off the track.

Another Eric Dymock classic, first of his new Vintage Archive series, on Jaguar. In colour, with model-by-model detail and a narrative of the successes and failures of Jaguar up till 1955. Jaguar made motorcycle sidecars for soldiers returning from the Great War. In the 1920s it made the stylish cars they then aspired to. In its centenary year, Jaguar's story is detailed in a new series of Eric Dymock's Vintage Archive. Book 1 begins with creator Bill Lyons' 21st birthday, entitling him to sign company cheques for a fledgling partnership. The 1930s Brooklands set thought Jaguars infra dig with a feeble engine under an imposing bonnet. By the 1940s a classic marque with Grace Pace and Space, Jaguar was a symbol of speed and style. The XK120 was pre-eminent and C-types, now prized by collectors, won Le Mans. Book 1, on sale as both a paperback and ebook from November 2021, takes us to the middle 1950s, Jaguar riding the crest of a wave, Bill Lyons about to become Sir William. For 60 of those 100 years, author Eric Dymock has been chronicling Jaguar, road testing them at The Motor, The Autocar, The Times, The Observer, The Daily Telegraph, syndicating features throughout Europe. Jaguars featured throughout his 13 years as Motoring Correspondent of The Sunday Times, leading to the publication of three editions of The Jaguar File in his classic File book series with Dove Publishing from 1999 onwards. Jaguar Cars confidently distributed copies world-wide to journalists at press launches. Head of Design Ian Callum recommended its research; Jaguar used it to prime new staff. The Eric Dymock Vintage Archive expands and updates a lifetime's experience and research into The Jaguar Centenary Book One 1922-1955.
