Forza Amon!: A Biography of Chris Amon

Biographies & Memoirs

HarperCollins New Zealand

Chris Among has been described by Sir Jackie Stewart as 'One of the most skilful and natural drivers ever to grace Formula One.' Yet, for all his undeniable talent behind the wheel, Amon didn't win a single world-championship Grand Prix. His bad luck was legendary. As one of his fellow drivers quipped: 'If Chris Amon quit racing and took up undertaking, people would stop dying The youngest of New Zealand motor-racing's 'big three' - driver-engineer Bruce McLaren and 1967 world champion Denny Hulme made up the trio - Amon wove his special brand of motoring magic in the years before saturation TV coverage could assure him hero status at home. Many New Zealanders are still surprised to learn that for three seasons in the late 1960s, one of their own led the Ferrari team, today synonymous with superchampion Michael Schumacher. Seasons followed with March, Matra, Tecno, his own Amon project and Ensign, punctuated by CanAm, sports-car and Formula Two events and the popular Tasman Series. Finally, after a decade of spooking the world's finest drivers, Amon quit the track for the family farm near Bulls. Forza Amon! is a tale of heroic persistence in the face of relentless ill fortune.

<p>The Monaco Grand Priz in May 2007 will see the 40th anniversary of Kiwi motor racing champion Denny Hulme's win there in 1967, followed in August by the 30th anniversary of his victory at the German Grand Prix at Nurburgring - two of the most demanding races on the calendar that year. It was also the year of his most successful season when he won the world championship for the Repco-Brabham team with 51 points from team owner Jack Brabham, who finished with 46 points. The book will tell the story of Denny Hulme, affectionately known as The Bear for his gruff manner and no-nonsense personal style. The last of our Kiwi Big 3 classic Formula 1 racing Champions, it will complete our internationally successful trilogy of racing biographies. Written with first hand knowledge and personal experience, and both a foreword and introduction by Sir Jackie Stewart and Sir Jack Brabham, Memories of the Bear will be another compelling story for fans of Formula 1 who want to relive and celebrate the achievements of one of New Zealand's most successful drivers.</p>
