CAn-Am Challenger ,Peter Bryant
Another good read I found was Can-Am Challenger by Peter Bryant it tells his personal story,of his career in one of the greatest eras in motorsports history. Bryant started his career as a lowly fabricator in Colin Chapman’s original Lotus Cars workshop. He later became a freelance racing mechanic, until in 1962 he was engaged as a mechanic in Formula 1
in 1964, fate took him to America. It was here that Peter made his mark in motor racing—as the designer of the most successful American-built race cars during the heyday of the Canadian-American Challenge Cup. His cars broke new ground in the use of advanced materials such as titanium, as well as emerging ground-effect technologies. It was an amazing achievement for a guy with no formal training in design or engineering. But Peter overcame these limitations through a ability to learn by doing and an incredible capacity for hard work. He also had a great sense of humour that reveals itself in this story
In all I believe it tells a great story and certainly one that will appeal to those of us that can relate to a working background in Motor Sport
