The Driver

by Alexander Roy
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
The seven-time Road Rally champion delivers a riveting autobiography that's "more than a testosterone cocktail of a memoir. It's a joy ride" (Los Angeles Times).
Alex Roy's father, while on his deathbed, hints about the notorious, utterly illegal cross-country drive from Los Angeles to New York of the 1970s, which then inspired his young son to enter the mysterious world of underground road rallies. Tantalized by the legend of the Driver—the anonymous, possibly nonexistent organizer of the world's ultimate secret race—Roy set out to become a force to be reckoned with. At speeds approaching 200 mph, he sped from London to Morocco, from Budapest to Rome, from San Francisco to Miami, in his highly modified BMW M5, culminating in a new record for the infamous Los Angeles to New York run: 32:07.
Sexy, funny, and shocking, The Driver is a never-before-told, behind-the-wheel look at an unbelievably fast and dangerous society that has long been off-limits to ordinary mortals.
"[A] highly entertaining insider's look at the world of high-stakes, high-octane, high-risk road rallies . . . Roy writes with enthusiasm and with a novelist's sense of pacing and character. The book is so good, so filled with color and adrenaline, that it plays out like a movie in your mind." —Booklist (starred review)
