Hobbo: The Autobiography of David Hobbs: Motor Racer, Motor Mouth Hardcover – May 29, 2018

I found this for a friend for a gift and they enjoyed it very much. I did sneak a quick look and thought it was an interesting book.

David Hobbs writing style is much like his TV commentary - smooth, easy and occasionally humorous. He doesn't portray himself as an all-time great, just as a versatile driver who had a long and fairly successful career. The photos are excellent, many apparently from his private collection. If you like racer biographies, this is a must-buy!

Having had the privledge to meet Davis Hobbs in the old garage building at Road America in 1970 after his practice/qualifying in the rain in his year old blue and puce green McClaren M8 (where he was as fast at the McClaren Team cars) along with Oscar Kovelesky, Jacky Stewart, Peter Revson, Jim Hall, et. al. was a memory this then teenager will never forget. I've followed Hobbs career (off and on) ever since through Can-AM, F5000, F1 and other series he raced in. I REALLY miss him on the current F! TV coverage as his comments were always insightful and often humorous (Kablammo!) Great book celebrating a true driving legend! Pictures bring back soooooo many memories.

BOOK WAS AS ADVERTISED. GOOD CAREER BIO FOR A DRIVER/COMMENTATOR THAT I HAVE FOLLOWED FOR MANY YEARS. LOTS OF GOOD PHOTOS.

Very enjoyable read about Hobbs' life. He has so much wit that whatever he wrote would have been fun to read, but while this is an easy and fun read, there are enough racing insights for we motorheads.

Great book! Loved the many photos, David's lived quite the life.

Fun read. Hobbs has had an amazing career as a racer and tv personalty. Very funny guy.

nice book with great pictures and information
