Possibly better known for his fat-moving, action stories about football, Michael Hardcastle here concludes a trilogy about motorcycle racing. If the earlier Roar to Victory and Fast from the Gate are familiar, then the style and storyline will need no explanation. If you are newcomers, the action centres around the Skalbrooke Schoolboy Motorcycle Club and focuses on the rivalry between the two Parnaby brothers, Lee and Daz. Unfortunately the latter doesn't come up whiter than white, in fact everything gets a bit muddied on 'the toughest circuit in Britain'.
