Although I haven't bothered to purchase F1
Grizzled Journo' Joe Saward's two volumes of 100 Facts apiece, i.e. Amazingly Fascinating
F1 Facts Volumes 1-2 to date, and probably will refrain from doing so, since
I'm Blind and they're not available in CD Audiobook format...
Nonetheless I do look forward to these
Factoids each 'N every winter, as I'm always entertained when my Noggin' sez' I
know who he's talking about... Like knowing who Teddy & Timmy Meyer were.
And NO, Thar Not related to Oscar; Hya!
Whilst other times I learn something
completely knew, like learning about the short lived F1 Pinewood Derby Soapbox Competizione
of 2005-06, won both years by la Scuderia.
Or Joe, who Knows Formula 1 Mates', will
intersperse details upon thou Powerful Figures in Formula 1, Thar Ruthlessness
and how things sometimes Don't work out in Thar favour. Like thee Ronsters' Ill
Advised Grab for Peugeot's uncompetitive V-12, when he probably should have
stuck with the Lamborghini V-12 power units he'd made a Handshake upon with
Chrysler.
Although I also find it quite entertaining
how Joe will Drop in a 'lil Nugget or Kernel of information in a most unusual
way, which he did in Fascinating F1 Facts: 15 when briefly noting the abortive
Ligier IndyCar project...
And speaking 'O Indy Cars, how many of Y'all
remember the name Adrian Reynard? Who although his ultimate ambition was to be
a Formula 1 Constructor, he had to settle for Indy Cars instead, which worked
out pretty well for a brief period 'O time. Culminating with victory in the
1995-96 Indianapolis 500's.
Alas, if Y'all are
interested in more info upon Joe's Books, you can get more details below in;
