He raced in an era of heroes; a time when cars had no seat belts,
yet could still be raced at averages of 150mph. Many he raced
against in the 1950s – the first decade of the world championship
– perished in pursuit of speed, but Tony Brooks emerged unscathed
with six Grand Prix victories, having come ever so close to
winning the world title his talents surely deserved. This week on
Beyond The Grid, we caught up with this giant of F1, now 87, to
look back over his remarkable career, which saw him move from the
world of dentistry to going toe-to-toe with the likes of Fangio
and Moss, driving for Ferrari, mastering the treacherous
Nurburgring and much more.
