Publisher's Note
After the war a young British engineer, Cameron Earl, was sent to occupied Germany by the British Intelligence Objectives Sub-Committee (B.I.O.S.) to investigate the development of Grand Prix racing cars in Germany before the war. First published in 1948 and for nearly fifty years available only in rare and highly-priced second-hand copies, the report has acquired a legendary status of its own, as has its author, whose death at the age of 29, following a motor racing accident robbed the world of a great talent.

This book is more than a book on auto racing. This is a record of a country possessed with illusions of grandeur. The descriptions tell of the third Reich's involvement and relentless attempts to shatter the Land Speed Record by building and testing the Uber car, or super car, using the engineers of Germany's greatest automobile manufacturers Porsche and Mercedes-Benz.
