Autobiography, author Perry McCarthy
Website: www.PerryMcCarthy.com

Behind the clowning exterior of Perry McCarthy lies a true racer, one fortunate enough to have survived racing in Formula One with Andrea Moda's death traps, but one also unfortunate enough to have never got the breaks his talent deserved.

Perry's made other drivers look silly in every formula he's taken part in, usually by plain out-driving them...

If you really need any more reasons to find David Coulthard annoying, look no further; rich kid DC took the Williams seat that Perry was also a contender for. Now imagine Pel in a top F1 seat for a decade instead of the humourless "this-will-be-my-year" automoton. No wonder F1 is looking boring, it badly needs folks like McCarthy.

One last thought, would Top Gear have been shown after the watershed if The Stig's original name had been used?
