Description

Sir Henry Ralph Stanley Birkin, known to many as 'Tim', was a racing driver renowned for his daredevil spirit and unyielding approach to competition. His exploits on the track are still remembered today for their bravery and skill. Birkin's life was marked by both glamour and tragedy. A contemporary of Sir Henry Segrave and Sir Malcolm Campbell, he was part of the exclusive group known as the "Bentley Boys". Despite his fearless nature, Birkin struggled with a stammer, yet remained passionate about promoting British motor racing. His story is one of thrilling accounts from the racing circuit. This illustrated edition features a new foreword by Allan Winn and reflections on Birkin's life by Derek Bell, five times Le Mans winner.
