Reg May has put pen to paper to create a record of iconic and historic races, including such classics as the 1955 Mille Miglia, and the 1957 German Grand Prix - races that the author has heard and read about since his childhood, and that have left a lasting impression. With personal opinions, careful observations, and measured reflections on motor racing in general, Reg has added his own personal experiences of motor racing, and penned a volume that excites as well as informs the reader. Reg injects his infectious enthusiasm for the sport, whilst painting a vivid picture of each event and its backdrop, Racing with Heroes captures the atmosphere of these great races, immersing the reader in the action as history is made.

Reg May was born in London in 1947 and took an interest in car mechanics and motor racing at an early age. In adult life, he became a design engineer in the building industry. Married to Marie, the couple have two sons: Stephen and Philip. Continuing a keen interest in motorsport, Reg became a Marshal at the Brands Hatch circuit, and is an active member of the British Racing and Sports Car Club.
