by Adam Cooper, foreword by Sir Frank Williams Piers Courage was the first man to drive for Frank Williams in Formula 1, and tragically died in a Williams-run car at the 1970 Dutch Grand Prix. Now available in paperback, this enthralling biography, written with his family s co-operation, chronicles the life of the charismatic old Etonian, including the wild Formula 3 days when he and chums roamed Europe surviving on their wits. Recalling a more relaxed era in motorsport, the book features dozens of people who knew Piers including Frank Williams, Bernie Ecclestone, Jackie Stewart and, of course, his wife Lady Sarah, daughter of pre-war racer Earl Howe.
