Stock Cars!
Slightly mixed feelings at times as the narration is dry and I expected a few more perspectives from Brundle himself (comparing it with Herbert's book, for instance) - but Martin is very clear in stating that it's not an autobiography.
Looking at the amount of new things I learnt thanks to this book, I am very happy I read it.
Definitely recommended to F1 fans to get an idea of racing in the mid 80s and 90s and to appreciate how much the sport has changed since.
The most interesting take away is how "human" the life of an F1 driver was back then - I was appalled reading about Brundle and Blundell having to recover themselves their rental car from the police pound while exhausted right after the Italian GP in Monza. Unimaginable these days!
