## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A splendid addition to the history of motorsport
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 January 2024*

In their most recent seasons, the highest level of both car and motorcycle racing were entirely male pursuits and Formula 1 and MotoGP have recently introduced measures to bring women into the top-level competitions. In a similar vein, motorcycle speedway in the UK launched a Women’s Championship in 2023. Nearly one hundred years ago, Fay Taylour forced a path into the rough new sport of speedway, competed against the best (male) riders of the day and beat them. When banned as a woman from speedway, she moved to midget car racing and, despite every kind of disadvantage, was again victorious. Fay Taylour’s story – so expertly researched and sympathetically narrated by Dr Cullen – tells of a tragic waste of talent. It’s not unreasonable to imagine that Taylour, had she not been discriminated according to her sex and having the financial backing she always lacked, her extraordinary natural talent and considerable grit could have taken her to the very top. This highly enjoyable book is a splendid addition to the history of motorsport.

Bought for my 91 year old father.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent biography of a forgotten female motorsports star
  

*by M***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 January 2024*

I bought this as a gift for a friend who told me they really enjoyed it. I read it too.  It is really well-written - the absorbing life story of a lively, complex, obstinate, opinionated, supremely talented world-class motorsports star - a woman who won against the top men and faced every difficulty with courage and perseverance. Detained during the Second World War for her pro-German views, she rebuilt her sporting career in America, racing well into her 50s. A great read!
