Blessed with a level of natural ability seldom seen, even in the rarefied world of Formula One, Tom Pryce lit up Grand Prix racing during the 1970s. The self-effacing Welshman, from rural Denbighshire, became synonymous with the Shadow team, and the sight of him controlling their cars at improbable angles still captures the imagination today, more than four decades on from his untimely death during the 1977 South African Grand Prix. The book features an unprecedented number of contributors who remember Tom, from his childhood growing up as the son of a police sergeant to his time as a motor racing superstar who - despite the adulation feted upon him - remained a humble individual, unaffected by fame. They include Alan Rees, John Watson, David Richards, Jean-Pierre Jarier, Tony Southgate, Jackie Oliver and Mike Wilds. Their recollections are accompanied by many rare photographs, some never published before. It is a unique and touching tribute to the greatest Welsh driver of all time. Tom's widow, Nella, provides the Foreword and David Tremayne a fitting Introduction.
