DRIVEN TO CRIME: NEW HARDBACK BOOK RELEASE

People lie, cheat, steal and even kill for a variety of reasons, one of which is to go motor racing. This intriguing 512-page hardback, the result of years of research, encompasses not just those who have been ‘driven to crime’ in order to pay for their motorsport activities, but also characters within motor racing who have been involved in wrongdoing, sometimes through no fault of their own. More than sixty true stories showcase webs of deceit and a variety of crimes, including drug trafficking, corruption, embezzlement, robbery, fraud, murder and money laundering. Author, Crispian Besley, investigates misdemeanours at all levels, involving famous drivers, designers and mechanics, as well as team bosses, entrants and sponsors. This of motorsport criminality will appeal not only to racing enthusiasts both sides of the Atlantic, but also those who enjoy reading about daring dastardly deeds.
