But the Tyrrell story is far bigger than that embracing nearly 40 action - packed years from initial forays as an entrant in Formula Junior in 1960 to eventual demise in 1998. Along the way the team with its larger - than - life proprietor was always universally respected in the world's Formula 1 paddocks often as the plucky underdog. In compiling this comprehensive history the author has interviewed dozens of surviving team members including most of the drivers and many mechanics to gather their memories and present an energetic touching compelling and above all entertaining narrative.
