In 2006 Dr Stephen Olvey did the same for the world of CART racing – now IndyCar – in Rapid Response.
A film documentary version of Rapid Response is now set for release later this year.
The first trailer for the film is below; viewers should be advised it does contain some footage of fatal accidents.
We’ll have to wait until later this year to discover whether the film version of Rapid Response lives up to the high standards set by the excellent book.
