Tony Robinson - The Biography Of A Race Mechanic
This is the biography of motor racing mechanic Tony Robinson who worked with some of the great names of the sport in the 1950s and 60s. Tony started as one of the mechanics for Stirling Moss in 1954: the year of Stirlings first serious assault on the world championship. After a semi-nomadic period touring Europe with privateer Bruce Halford who also raced a Maserati 250F Tony joined the British Racing Partnership - a Formula One and Two team part-owned by (Sir) Stirlings father Alfred. Stirling was driving a BRP-entered Lotus on the day of the accident that effectively ended his racing career. At BRP Tony responded to the Lotus 25 by building what was the first monocoque F1 car following Colin Chapmans groundbreaker. He also designed a car for Indianapolis before going on to work for
Cooper. During his time in motor racing Tony rubbed shoulders with such great names as Juan Manual Fangio and Mike Hawthorn; Stuart Lewis-Evans - whose manager was Bernie Ecclestone - was one of Tonys drivers and McLarens Ron Dennis worked for him during his time at Cooper. This is the fascinating story of one of motorsports most enduring characters.
