Sir Jackie Stewart is a man of immense charisma and integrity and is one of the most highly regarded names in global sport: winner of three F1 World Championships, 27 Grands Prix, and ranked in the top five drivers of all time. On retiring from the circuit, he went on to build an equally impressive international business career. In the 1960s and into the 70s, with his black cap, sideburns, and aviator shades, Jackie Stewart was an unmistakable icon in a glorious era of style, glamour, and speed. On the track, his story is one of drama, excitement, tragedy, controversy, celebrity, danger, and massive success. Beyond the sport, his life is a compelling tale of battling against the odds and achieving world-wide recognition as an outstanding sportsman, role model, and highly accomplished and respected businessman.

"Even if you're not interested in F1 you will get something out of this book. I felt the Ford years dragged but as was his job at Ford during those years attention-to-detail was key and he left nothing out of the book. An inspiring read and a book I would revisit (but perhaps skip those Ford years!)" — Zoe (5 out of 5 stars)

" Always classy, Jackie does not reveal any real dirt. A good read with some interesting stories about Sir Stewarts life and racing career. I would normally give this a three stars, but he autographed it; and that is worth a star. "
" Very interesting and readable autobiography - even for those not interested in motor racing. Shocking to read about how many deaths there were in Formula 1 in the 1960s and 1970s. "
" You HAVE to read this, its very inspirational. It makes you wanna get off your ass and take over the world! (or at least accomplish something) "
" I'm torn on this book. On one hand, the stories themselves are amazing. Jackie Stewart lived through an incredible period of grand prix racing. On the other hand, the flow of the writing leaves something to be desired. It just doesn't suck you in and grab your full attention like it should. "
" Inspirational - and the description of a confirmation service in a race circuit hotel room is just beautiful. "
" Wonderful book, filled not only with Jackie's tremendous exploits and success, but great life and business lessons and also tales of other sporting stars, movie stars, royalty, big business CEO's and other movers and shakers. "
