Racing in the Sun

For some, motor racing is an inevitability. It is a passion that they are born with and it is just a matter of time before they slip behind the wheel of a racing car. For these chosen few, this inborn factor elevates them to a level above the rest of the pack and from an early age, it’s a case of, “all roads lead to …­.. the racetrack.”

Born in Johannesburg in 1923, Ian Fraser-Jones had just such a passion for motor racing from an early age, and as a schoolboy in England in the 1930s, Ian recalls being inspired by the likes of Parnell, Howe, Cobb, Dixon and others at Brooklands, which only served to heighten his already-fervent interest in the sport.
