The Pits by Beverley Turner
The Pits is an incendiary, brave and revelatory behind-the scenes account of the truth behind Formula 1 from ITV's F1 presenter, Beverley Turner.
An incredibly well researched, erudite look at all areas of Formula One.. the side of F1 that only insiders could see... Candid in a way few F1 books are. -- Barbara Ellen * Observer *
Highly entertaining -- Sue Mott * Daily Telegraph *
Another view of what Formula One racing is really all about... Turner was the only female racing commentator for ITV for three years, and certainly knows her subject. She paints a less than flattering picture of a sport where team spirit is non-existent, and the image of glossy glamour has to be promoted at all costs. * Independent *
The Pits has confirmed Beverley Turner is not just a pretty face. -- Jon Henderson * Observer Sports Monthly *
In Turner's TV role it was difficult for her to speak her mind. In fact, it was difficult for her to demonstrate that she even had a mind. Her book serves to do so, and it will therefore take many by surprise... The Pits has hit a very raw nerve. -- Richard Moore * Scotsman *
