FOREVER YOUNG - SIX LOST TALENTS OF MOTOR RACING

Motorsport can be a cruel mistress, especially when young, talented individuals with their lives ahead of them are lost before fulfilling their potential.

Stuart Lewis-Evans, Chris Bristow, Chris Lambert, Bert Hawthorne, Bertrand Fabi and Paul Warwick are six examples who fit that category. The first two earned their place in Formula One, so in some ways realised their potential, while the remaining names were taken before they could achieve that accolade.

Forever Young examines in detail, through insights from remaining family and friends, plus contemporary reports, the all too brief lives of six men who were clearly destined for great things until Fate decreed otherwise.

Vastly experienced, award-winning authors, Ian Wagstaff and Andrew Marriott, are joined by relative newcomers Jon Saltinstall and Darren Banks, who themselves have been recognised for the quality of their work, to capture the essence and character of these lost talents, of which little is known. All feel that each chosen subject would have left an indelible mark in the motorsport world.

A wide array of previously unseen images – many from family albums – when combined with the insightful and nostalgia provoking text, rekindle the inevitable thoughts of what may have been.

The six drivers featured remain, and always will in the eyes of their loved ones and admirers, Forever Young.
