The concise history of the TWR racing team and the compelling story of
how TWR Jaguars won the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Tom Walkinshaw was a successful racing driver who parlayed his knowledge
of top level race preparation and driving into a career as a team boss.
He first of all steered BMW racecars to success, then Rover and Mazda.
He then lured Jaguar, recently privatised again from the clutches of
BLMC, into the realm of World Class Endurance racing, resulting in wins
at the Le Mans 24 Hour race, the Daytona 24 Hour race and scooping the
World Manufacturers' Championship prize.
