Hawkeye had an all-too-short yet highly successful driving career, his talent and versatility taking him from club racing in production cars through briefly into Formula One, but his exceptional speed and stamina brought him his greatest rewards in endurance and sports car racing, earning him factory drives with Ford, Ferrari and Porsche as well as international fame in his own or shared cars, before his career was cruelly brought to an end in a fiery accident at Oulton Park in 1969. That day, motor racing lost one of its most colourful and popular drivers, to whom author Ivan McLeod, a fellow Australian until recently domiciled in the UK, now provides a belated tribute. He recalls, through the memories of family and friends and many drivers and entrants who competed around the world either alongside or against him, the highlights of Hawkeye s' racing career and the many off-track escapades of an unquenchable spirit and fun-loving character.
