Reformatted and updated in paperback after its hardback success, this is the hilarious - and at times harrowing - autobiography of Perry McCarthy, alias the original 'Stig' on BBC TV's Top Gear. Perry, whose efforts to get into Formula 1 led The Times to dub him 'the world's unluckiest racing driver', has created enormous intrigue as the mystery driver on Jeremy Clarkson's prime-time television show, testing cars at times to near destruction, and has signed up for another series starting this autumn. But when it came to racing at Le Mans in 2003 the old bad luck returned.
