This is the life story of Kim Newcombe, a little-known Kiwi mechanic who in 1973 came second in the 500cc grand prix motorcycle championship.I found this was a fascinating insight into albeit motor cycle racing ,but you could relate it to any form of motorsport the grass roots engineering and development I am sure many of us can relate to our own pursuits and scarifices of our own branch of the sport. I hope I have not gone of topic here
