Regga: The Extraordinary Two Lives of Clay Regazzoni by Christopher Hilton

This title includes a foreword by Sir Frank Williams. Clay Regazzoni, a cult figure in a glorious period of motorsport history, spent six seasons with Ferrari from 1970 to 1975, gave Williams its maiden Grand Prix victory in 1979, and drove Le Mans and the Indy 500. When he crashed so badly at Long Beach in 1980 that he had to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, the indomitable Swiss-Italian went on to compete in adapted vehicles. This first English-language biography reveals a man of heroic temperament who continued to relish adventure, delight fans and terrify co-drivers right up to his death in December 2006.
