The autobiography of the racing driver, Tommy Byrne, whose rise was meteoric and fall spectacular. Now the subject of a feature-length documentary released in cinemas in late December 2016.
Tommy Byrne was the 1980 Double British Formula Ford 1600 champion, the 1981 British Formula Ford 2000 champion and also the European Formula Ford 2000 champion. In 1982 - having also become British F3 champion - he entered Formula One, but by the following year had disappeared without trace. Mark Hughes is recognised as one of Formula One's top journalists.
