Next month I'll be spending two weeks by the pool in Mexico so wondered if the PH Community could recommend me some motorsport books?

I've read Hill, Coulthard, Webber, Button and Mansell's books, along with Steve Matchett and Michael Waltrip - those two very kindly answering a few questions I had after reading (twitter).

Any recommendations? F1, BTCC, Indycar, WEC, NASCAR all good.

Jackie Stewart's autobiography - not just fascinating for the man and his career, but the time it was written - the stuff about RBS.

Beverly Turner, The Pits, for an alternative view of the F1 circus.

The Mechanic by Mark Priestley, for an insight into F1 when tobacco money was endless.

By A.J.Baime- 'Go like Hell'. I think the upcoming film is based on this book. Very good and an easy read.

Touch Wood by Duncan Hamilton. Autobiography of the 1953 LeMans winner. A very good read about racing in a different time..

Flat Out Flat Broke by Perry McCarthy. His story of trying to break intoF1. An excellent read and very funny.
