{"product_id":"9781908291967","title":"The Blunt End of the Grid : A memoir of motor racing and other automotive escapades by Dave Roberts","description":"Dave Roberts started circuit racing at the age of 50, feeling like a bumbling overweight bee amid a swarm of angry hornets. Although he began to learn, haphazardly, how to become slightly more credible as a racer, even overtaking another car now and then, the pursuit of prizes was never at the top of the list of priorities.  In fact, just arriving at the track with a working race car was often a cause for celebration.   Dave is no Hamilton or Verstappen, a state of affairs for which he gives thanks.  Some people believe winning is everything; some think of motorsport as being just some cars going round and round making a noise.  In between we find this defiantly unprofessional memoir, which speaks most of all about the humour and fun of it all.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309067284853,"sku":"9781908291967","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781908291967.jpg?v=1762810314","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781908291967","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
