Page 38 - On the Prowl: The Definitive History of the Walkinshaw Jaguar Sports Car Team

A beloved car marque deep in trouble; a mercurial team owner hungry to win at ever-higher levels;
two sports car championships at the height of their popularity but headed for disaster...
On the Prowl – The Definitive History of the Walkinshaw Jaguar Sports Car Team pulls together the stories of Jaguar,
Tom Walkinshaw and the Group C and IMSA GTP championships to tell the extraordinary tale of how one iconic team
ascended to the very top of sports car racing and in the process carved out a legendary reputation. With fascinating
behind-the-scenes insights from the drivers and team members who were there, over 650 images, documents and
diagrams (many previously unpublished), and a comprehensive appendix that includes meticulously-researched histories
of all 32 TWR Jaguar prototype sports car chassis, this exhaustive work documents a team that reached the peak of its
powers with victories at Le Mans, Daytona and in the World Sportscar Championship.
THE DEFINITIVE HISTORY OF THE

NEIL SMITH
A phenomenal piece of research and writing. This tome is a fascinating history of Jaguar, focusing
on the TWR cars, so complete in detail and description that you almost feel like you have one or
more TWR chassis number plates tattooed on your chest as you reach the end.
Pure poetry in motion and emotion. Smith has a way with words most “professional” auto writers
would have an impossible task trying to replicate.
