@captainj84 I think it's about how he struggled against financial difficulty to get into F1

[captainj84]

can someone help me out with the title of this book? it suggests to me that perry made very little money and was skint. He got 700 quid a show (4 a week 2800 a month?) and was racing for audi at the time and had a contract worth 200k a year, not exactly broke are you now????
