True stories of wrongdoing in motor racing.
People lie, cheat, steal and even kill for a variety of reasons, one of which is to go motor racing, a particularly expensive and egotistical sport. Join author Crispian Besley as he shares salacious tales from the track as featured in his award-winning book.
‘Driven to Crime’, was the result of years of research, and it encompasses not just those who have been ‘driven to crime’ in order to pay for their sport but also characters within motor racing who have been involved in wrongdoing. From true stories of deceit and crimes of drug trafficking, corruption, embezzlement, robbery, fraud, murder, and money laundering, Crispian will lift the lid on his investigations and misdemeanours at all levels, from drivers, designers and mechanics to team owners, entrants, and sponsors. Signed copies of the book will be on sale on the night.
In person tickets are available until 9am on the day of the talk, Livestream tickets are available until midday on the day of the talk. Livestream links are sent out after midday on the day of the talk.
This event will be in person in the Clubhouse and broadcast on BM.tv Livestream
