Synopsis

Tested to the limit. Pushed to the edge. Brought alive on the page. Into the Red puts you behind the wheel of the last century's greatest sports and racing cars. Nick Mason of Pink Floyd has been acquiring and racing cars for over thirty years. With test driver Mark Hales, he has given the pick of his cars a no-holds-barred workout at Silverstone to find out how they compare under pressure. Feel the force of a Le Mans Porsche. Relish the challenge of a 1920s Bugatti. Savour the elegant performance of the Ferrari 250GTO. With specially commissioned photographs of every car, and even a CD unleashing the power and glory of their engine sounds, Into the Red is the next best thing to being in the driving seat.

Media Reviews
'Superb. Stylish, spectacular, insightful, entertaining. Too many motoring books are a waste of trees, but this is special.' Mick Walsh, editor in chief, Classic & Sports Car 'The car book that all we lovers of machinery have been waiting for: a perfect balance between all that is romantic, practical and downright dangerous about motor racing. Robbie Coltrane 'Great beasts being thrashed to within microns of their cylinder heads. Great book, Nick! Can I come next time?' Damon Hill
