David Tremayne
David Tremayne is a well-known motorsport writer who has reported on every round of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship since 1988 for a variety of clients — over 650 Grands Prix — including his own GrandPrix+ ezine, which is published within hours of the cars crossing the finish line of each Grand Prix.
The author of more than 50 motorsport books on F1 and speed record-breaking, his works include Donald Campbell: The Man Behind the Mask, the definitive biography of his boyhood hero; The Lost Generation: The brilliant but tragic lives of rising British F1 stars Roger Williamson, Tony Brise and Tom Pryce; and Jim Clark: The Best of the Best.
His writing is recognised for its soul and passion, along with a deep understanding of the racer’s psyche and an encyclopaedic knowledge of motorsport history. He is a three-time winner of the Guild of Motoring Writers’ Journalist of the Year award.
In what little spare time he has, and to keep himself sane, he also runs his own STAY GOLD jet-powered dragster project to challenge the 301mph UK land speed record. After peaking at 297mph at Elvington airfield in Yorkshire in August 2017, he walked away from a 250mph accident with just a skinned knuckle following parachute problems, and after being rained off following preliminary trials in the rebuilt car in September 2023, he is preparing a fresh effort.
