Gordon & co Spice up book launch

Motor Sport welcomed Gordon Spice and many of his friends to our Chelsea offices in May to celebrate the launch of the four-time Group C2 World Sports Car Champion’s colourful autobiography.

Life of Spice, written in conjunction with Jeremy Walton and published by Haynes, is an entertaining tale of a long and varied racing career – plus a, ahem, spicy business and personal life.

Editor Damien Smith paid tribute to Gordon who entertained us with his famous party tricks, showing the strength of the Zimbabwean currency by using a five billion-dollar bill to break a pencil!

Grand Prix winner John Watson as well as touring car aces Alec Poole and Vince Woodman were among the guests.
