The Story of March

Anotace

The Story of March is a landmark in motor racing literature because it is the first book which tells the true story of a current manufacturer. In writing it, Mike Lawrence received full cooperation from March which ranged from candid interviews with key personnel to access to private correspondence, contracts and proposals for future projects. Such access has rarely, if ever, been granted a motor racing writer.
Many a writer could have received such cooperation and still produced a pedestrian book but Mike Lawrence combines a vast knowledge of the sport with a superb, lively, prose style which will grip even those with only a passing interest in the subject. The result is a work which stands head and shoulders above anything published for a very long time and which will surely take its place among the handful of classics written on motor racing.
Mike Lawrence's formula is simple, he tells an exciting story by concentrating on the people involved and he gets under the skin of his subject by recreating the collective thinking of an outfit which went from a bright idea to becoming the most successful production racing car maker in history.
Along the way he records the humour, the scams, the brushes with bankruptcy, the successes and the failures and he also reveals the truth behind incidents which have puzzled people for years.
Those who also want chassis numbers, technical descriptions and race results will not be disappointed either for they are all present in detailed, year by year, appendices laid out for easy consultation.
The result is a unique book in motor racing. one which can be read as a good story while at the same time being an invaluable work of reference.
