Derek Warwick has been a popular and highly respected figure in motor racing for nearly 50 years, known for his tough and determined personality as well as his talent and bravery behind the wheel. Now, with characteristic honesty and humour, he tells his inspiring story in a memoir that holds nothing back. Although he never won in Formula 1, due to ill fortune and so often being in the wrong car at the wrong time, he did achieve the results he deserved in sports car racing, winning the Le Mans 24 Hours and the World Championship in 1992, plus finishing series runner-up with Jaguar in 1986 and 1991. In the twilight of his racing career, that world title was a fitting companion to the one he had earned as a short-track oval racer nearly 20 years earlier. Derek's unconventional racing baptism saw him excel on short-track ovals, winning the World Championship at Wimbledon Stadium in 1973 aged 19. Climbing the ladder: winner of 33 Formula Ford races and the European championship in 1976; champion in one of two major British F3 series in 1978 battling against Nelson Piquet and runner-up in the other; second in the European F2 Championship to Toleman team-mate Brian Henton in 1980. Into F1 with Toleman, gradually establishing himself as the fledgling turbo team gained momentum after a disastrous start in 1981-82, then scoring points in 1983 and becoming sought-after by other teams. After landing a plum seat at Renault for 1984, bad luck stopped him taking a deserved victory in the opening race, but he did achieve four podiums; but it all turned sour in 1985 with the team's decline and then withdrawal. With F1 opportunities drying up, Derek switched to the World Endurance Championship with Jaguar for 1986, finishing second in the standings; by mid-season, he also found himself back in F1 with Brabham after the sad death of Elio de Angelis. Three F1 years with Arrows (1987-89) saw him add to his reputation as a fast and committed racer, followed by a difficult season with Lotus (1990) that brought a huge accident at Monza and an even worse one for team-mate Martin Donnelly at Jerez. Back with Jaguar in a Ross Brawn-designed sports car for 1991, Derek won four races, but one disqualification meant he was runner-up in the Sportscar World Championship for the second time. On 21 July 1991, the Warwick family was torn apart when Derek's younger brother Paul was killed at Oulton Park. Paul was pursuing a racing career of his own and had graduated to the British F3000 Championship, which he dominated and ended up winning posthumously. World Champion again: invited to join Peugeot's sports car team for 1992, Derek started to rebuild his life with a hugely successful year, winning both Le Mans and the Sportscar World Championship. One final year of F1 (1993), back with Footwork-branded Arrows, followed by some touring car racing, including with his own team 888. And more besides: he built up a small group of car dealerships in the UK and Jersey, selling the UK ones in 2003; he constructed or renovated over a dozen houses in Jersey, two of them at the time the most spectacular ever built on the island; ownership of three building companies in the UK; President of the British Racing Drivers' Club; serving as an FIA steward at Grands Prix; coping with cancer. Derek Warwick: Never Look Back is a brutally honest and often very amusing memoir by one of Britain's most prominent and successful racing drivers.

Set amid the glamour and bravado of 1980s Formula 1, The Power and the Glory tells the story of a rivalry unsurpassed in motor-racing history. By the mid-80s Alain Prost had firmly established himself as leader of the F1 pack. Winning Grands Prix almost at will, the French ace radiated invincibility. But then came the emergence of Ayrton Senna, sparking a decade-long battle for supremacy out on the track. Although chalk and cheese in terms of character and background, the two men were driven by the same burning desire: to become Formula 1's heavyweight champion of the world, its undisputed king. Senna and Prost would both go on to win multiple world championships in what was a golden era for F1 racing. Their Suzuka showdowns of 1988-90 attracted record worldwide audiences and popularised the sport as never before. An intimate portrait of two unique competitors, The Power and the Glory is a supercharged story of acrimony and sheer ambition.

The untold story of Britain’s oldest car makerMany previously unpublished images from the vaults of VauxhallA view from the inside that has been untold until nowOf interest to the motorcar historian and modellers Vauxhall has been making cars in Britain for longer than anyone else. The first Vauxhall car left a cramped Thames-side works in 1903. Moving to Luton in 1905, Vauxhall became famous as a maker of sporting and luxury cars. Bought by the American giant General Motors, the company entered the era of mass production and, with the addition of Bedford trucks and vans, became one of the top five UK producers. After the Second World War, Vauxhall became the household name it is today with models such as Viva, Astra, Cresta, Victor, Nova, Cavalier and Vivaro. The journey from the Thames to today’s plants at Ellesmere Port and Luton is full of twists, turns, dramas and triumphs, and continues with the announcement of the sale of General Motors European operations to the PSA Groupe. The author worked at Vauxhall for 38 years, from apprentice to boardroom. He has told the Vauxhall story with the benefit of years of experience and a lifelong passion for the marque.

With essays taking the reader from London to Bali, theatre to library and from election campaigns to television, The Meaning of Recognition collects the best of Clive James on art, culture and politics from 2001–2005. Whether analysing Bing Crosby, Bruno Schulz or Shakespeare, celebrating The Sopranos and The West Wing, or lamenting the decline of Formula One, Clive James writes with style and substance, offering food for thought across a huge variety of subjects.
