The Racer

From back of book: THIS is that rare book, a novel about sports which will be enjoyed by everyone - sports fans or not. For in addition to its exciting and colorful setting of auto-racing up and down the Continent, this book tells a mature, sophisticated story, peopled with three-dimensional characters. You will remember Erich Lester, the bitter champion, as vividly as the heady danger of his steel-nerved driving.
