\"When The Flag Drops\" by JACK BRABHAM, First Edition 1971, published by William Kimber, hardback with dust wrapper, 240 pages, well illustrated in b&w, 9\" x 6\", weighs 406g unpacked. \"In a motor racing career extending over 23 years Jack Brabham became known as the \"Quiet Australian,\" but his reputation as the man behind the wheel in GP racing made his a name known world-wide. That career began with dirt-track racing in Australia and culminated with three wins as World Champion GP driver, while also producing a series of GP cars bearing his name to compete against long-established and famous racing car manufacturers. One of his contemporary GP drivers, Graham Hill, said in a foreword to the book that: \"I rate Jack as one of the great racing drivers of our time; others may have received more acclaim; but few more success.\" He added that Jack had \". beaten ever one of the acknowledged stars of the day and was also doing so right up to the time of his retirement\" In telling his story, with help from Elizabeth Hayward, a motor racing enthusiast and contributor to \"Motor Track\" magazine, he takes the reader behind the scenes to the complexities of motor racing enterprises, while conveying graphically the thrills and dangers of racing at the very top level. He ventures into the pits area to explain the maintenance and repairing of GP cars. His autobiography is an all-embracing account or life as a Formula One driver, covering a 20 year period which many regard as one of the most dramatic, competitive and thrilling in motor racing annals. Not neglected in the telling are his days as a youngster in Australia and his early motor racing achievements.\"

The book has no names or inscriptions and remains in overall excellent condition and is unmarked apart from mild foxing mostly to the preliminary pages and closed page side edges. The dust wrapper (price clipped) has damage on the front as shown. A nice FIRST EDITION example of this classic motor racing autobiography!
