Description:

Throughout the last twenty-five years, Life in the Fast Lane has become a staple of Formula 1 literature. In essence, Matchett's story is a monthly diary of a Benetton grand prix mechanic. This essential book gives a behind-the-scenes account of the daily life inside the trenches of F1, each page written throughout the tragic and turbulent 1994 season. The author’s unique view alone makes this book indispensable reading for any serious motor racing enthusiast but Life in the Fast Lane is much more than an informative diary of this highly exclusive, multimillion dollar world: its remarkable insider setting, its exceptional subject matter, its unfolding tension, its ease of narration... all of these thrilling ingredients have been wonderfully blended to produce a truly captivating page-turner. From January through to December, the enthralled reader is simply compelled to follow the author’s stunning racing year from start to finish. Written by popular Formula 1 television personality and audiobook narrator, Steve Matchett, Life in the Fast Lane proved an immediate success; a catalyst carrying the author from the F1 pit lane to America, working with FOX and NBC television, a commentary position from where he has called all the live grand prix racing action for the past twenty years. When Matchett wrote Life in the Fast Lane, however, he was a member of the Benetton grand prix team, a Formula 1 race mechanic working alongside celebrities like Flavio Briatore, Michael Schumacher and Ross Brawn. His fast-paced story of the frantic, unending backstage activity to become the fastest and best in the world gives a fascinating, unparalleled insight into Formula 1 during some of its darkest and most difficult days. Matchett was himself engulfed in the terrible fire in Hockenheim where Jos Verstappen’s race car dramatically exploded. In Life in the Fast Lane he reveals the full inside story of the momentous 1994 season, including the death of Ayrton Senna, the Hockenheim fuel fire, along with the numerous fines, penalties and disqualifications that embroiled the sport as the Benetton and Williams teams battled tooth and nail for the drivers’ and constructors’ world championships. The final showdown came in Adelaide, Australia, the last race of the year, complete with that controversial title-deciding racing collision between Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill.
