Overview

Colin Chapman was one of the most brilliant-and controversial-minds in motorsport history. As the founder of Lotus, he revolutionised car design with his radical thinking, engineering brilliance, and unyielding obsession with speed and innovation. From pioneering the monocoque chassis and ground-effect aerodynamics to launching iconic road cars like the Elan and Esprit, Chapman left an indelible mark on both Formula One and the automotive world. But behind the glamour and glory were also deep shadows-fatal accidents, financial scandals, and personal flaws that complicated his legacy. Colin Chapman: The Man Who Built Speed is a meticulously researched, fact-driven narrative that tells the full story of a man who lived and died in the fast lane. With vivid storytelling and clear-eyed analysis, this book traces Chapman's journey from a young RAF officer tinkering in his garage to a global motorsport legend. It explores the genius, ambition, and contradictions of a figure whose influence still resonates through every Formula One car and Lotus badge on the road today.
