About the Author

Except for one summer spent sleeping inside a truck in a concrete yard in Northern Ireland, Guy Martin has lived within 20 miles of the Grimsby hospital he was born in, on the 4th November 1981. But that hasn’t stopped the professional truck mechanic from winning multiple international road races, including eleven Ulster GPs and eight Scarborough Gold Cups, plus scoring thirteen Isle of Man TT podiums. Neither has it prevented him from presenting three critically acclaimed prime-time TV series, being the subject of a BAFTA-nominated film or breaking British and World land speed records along the way. Not bad for a truck fitter. Guy still lives in North Lincolnshire.
