Fangio

<p><strong>Juan Manuel Fangio's name is indelibly inscribed in the record books and many consider him to be the greatest driver in history.</strong> <br /><br />It was 46 years before his record of five World Championships was beaten, but even now he is still remembered for an exceptional Formula 1 career which contained some of the greatest displays of skill and daring ever seen. <br /><br />Few though know of his almost super-human exploits in epic South American road races that made competition at the pinnacle of motorsport seem like child's play. <br /><br />Gerald Donaldson chronicles not only those arduous early competitions but also his long journey from humble origins in remote Argentina to the lofty heights of international celebrity.</p>
