Описание книги

Martin Hines is the man who discovered the sensational and talented F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton. He is the world's most successful kart driver with 17 major championships including three world titles and five European, the last of which he won at the age of 56 after beating cancer. Along the way he discovered and nurtured F1 superstars like David Coulthard, Anthony Davidson and Lewis Hamilton, and future stars Gary Paffett and Oliver Rowland. He built Zip Karts into the industry's most influential company, at the forefront of sport-changing innovations like indoor karting. But his autobiography is far more than the story of a successful kart king. The action will leave you breathless and the anecdotes will make you laugh. This is a must read book for motorsport lovers and also for everyone who appreciates a life lived as though every split second counts.

Отрывок из книги

I dedicate this book to the memory of my daughter Kelly and to my Mother and Father who loved and supported me through thick and thin. My father was an incredible influence and an absolute inspiration in my life while my mother gave me the belief that nothing was impossible and there is no such word as can’t. I am indeed so proud to have been the son of Mark and Maudie Hines.

This has been a fantastic journey over many decades and many wonderful people have touched my life in so many ways on the track, in the world of business and in life itself.
