Description
The Definitive History of the Walkinshaw Jaguar Sports Car Team
The Group C and IMSA GTP era of sports car racing was truly a golden age, and few teams reached the level of success and admiration as Tom Walkinshaw Racing, whose factory Jaguar programs took on the very best on both sides of the Atlantic.
For the first time, the full history of this iconic team has been told, with author Neil Smith going beyond race results and car specifications and uncovering the fascinating stories, anecdotes and intrigue from those who were there.
On the Prowl – The Definitive History of the Walkinshaw Jaguar Sports Car Team includes contributions from drivers such as Derek Warwick, Davy Jones, Andy Wallace, Price Cobb and more, who share their experiences of winning in the fearsome XJR prototypes and what it was like to drive for the legendary and enigmatic Walkinshaw. Key team members from the era also reflect on their memories, with Tony Southgate providing the designer’s view, Le Mans-winning team managers Alastair Macqueen and Tony Dowe speaking to the inner workings of TWR, and some of the most experienced crew members such as Eddie Hinckley (who engineered the ’88 Le Mans winner) covering the nuts and bolts of the program.
