The The British at Indianapolis by Dario Franchitti

The The British at Indianapolis by Dario Franchitti

The British at Indianapolis recounts the history of the Indianapolis 500 race through the eyes and actions of those British born or British citizens who have driven in it, or been involved in any other way - be it as a designer, mechanic, or official. It also examines the British built cars that have won the Indy 500 and the significance of the rear engined revolution brought to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway by Cooper in 1961, and elevated to success by Lotus and Lola. It includes such names as Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Nigel Mansell and 2010 Indy 500 champion, and two times winner, Dario Franchitti.

Freelance journalist Ian Wagstaff won the Mercedes-Benz Montagu of Beaulieu Trophy for his book, The British at Le Mans. He began his writing career with Autosport and Motoring News before becoming press and promotions manager at Silverstone in the late 1970s, during which time the IndyCars made their only appearance in the UK. His recent articles have feature in such titles as Racecar Engineering, Motor Sport, Race Engine Technology, Performance Racing Industry, The Paddock and The Red Bulletin. His work for these takes him to races throughout Europe and the USA, including the Indianapolis 500.
