Congratulations to EVRO and Crispian Besley.

Both ‘Driven to Crime’ and ‘Tyrrell’ are in stock at The Motorsport Collector.

The Royal Automobile Club presented its 2023 Motoring Book of The Year Award to Evro’s Driven to Crime: True stories of wrongdoing in motor racing by Crispian Besley at its prestigious London ceremony on Wednesday 1 November at its Pall Mall headquarters.

Entered in the category ‘Books On A Motor Sporting Subject Costing No More than £50’, Driven to Crime was a massive hit with the six-strong judging panel, chaired by Simon Taylor, and they were unanimous in crowning it their ultimate Motoring Book of the Year. One of the judges, Christian Whitehead, said: “The motor racing world is filled with stories involving drivers, team owners, manufacturers and sponsors behaving badly, and this fantastic book highlights the many cases that have made headlines in various ways. We Brits love a good true crime story, and this book was very hard to put down. Kidnapping, murder, drug-smuggling, robbery, cheating, corruption, punch-ups and downright dangerous driving are all represented well in this thoroughly researched book.”

Ben Cussons, Chairman of the Royal Automobile Club, commented: “The awards, now in their tenth year, are globally recognised and celebrate the very best in automotive publishing. Authors and publishers from around the world submitted a record-breaking 56 titles this year, from compelling biographies and crime stories to marque-specific histories.

“No comparable event in the English language does so much to reward such high achievements within motoring and motoring racing books. The calibre for 2023 has been more impressive than ever.”

One other Evro title, Tyrrell: The Story of the Tyrrell Racing Organisation by Richard Jenkins, was also shortlisted, in the category ‘Books On A Motor Sporting Subject With No Price Limit’. Judge Ben Horton said: “It is so nice to have such a well written, beautifully produced, reasonably priced book on an important subject that up to now has been mostly untouched.”
