What I Read -- Faster: How a Jewish Driver, an American Heiress, and a Legendary Car Beat Hitler’s Best

Faster was on my 2024 Reading Challenge, but I didn't even begin it until I was on the way home from Cyprus.  So, it was already 2025.  Obviously, I'm crushing it.

For anyone interested in the history of auto racing, it's a good read.  Though I like particular modern auto racing (namely, Formula 1), I haven't spent much (if any) time with the history of the sport.  Faster gives a lot of color and background which I knew nothing about.  The "American Heiress" referenced in the subtitle refers to Lucy Schell, whom I am now very interested to learn more about.  Maybe she will be the biography I write! 

And, it was recommended by a friend of mine, so now we have something we can chat about next time we see each other.
