I generally enjoy Maurice Hamilton's books, and this one is no exception: "Race Without End" is a fairly detailed look at a season with Eddie Jordan's fledgling Formula One team circa 1993. It's actually a pretty prescient story, in that the very next season the team really did come through, scoring its first podium and best points finishes. But it still had a lot of driver turnover (you'll have to read the book to understand the significance of this) with the exception of the brilliant Rubens Barrichello, and even he had to step aside briefly. Again, if you know your F1 history you know why. It's a fine read...not a "All But My Life" or anything like that, but then that's not what it was intended to be. If you enjoy the finer points of racing history, it's probably not for you, but if you'd enjoy an insider view of how a racing team functions, from the designing of the car to the cooking of the food, you'll enjoy this.

Book 3 of 22. An insight of Jordan Hart participation in 1993 F1 season. An interesting story on how Jordan Hart manages their challenges on race by race basis as a constructor in F1. Their first driver was a young Rubens Barrichello and their 2nd driver was rotated at least 4 times during the course of the season.

If you are an F1 fan, this is one the rarest book that you can read; as normally the highlights are always towards the front running and established teams such as Mercedes, Red Bull, Mclaren Ferrari etc.

This is a fascinating insight into the apparently glamorous world of F1 from within the Jordan GP team.
I enjoyed the read from first to last, can appreciate the frustrations of striving to achieve only for misfortune to interfere.
