Serial Survivor is the spellbinding and highly anticipated memoir of Irish racing driver Derek Daly. Blending entertaining storytelling with brutal honesty, it is a page-turner that chronicles his rollercoaster life—from a modest background in Dublin to the absolute pinnacle of motor racing, and the aftermath of his driving career.

Key highlights include:

Working for the dream: After starting out with a secondhand Formula Ford, Daly laboured in the extreme environment of an Australian iron-ore mine for six months just to earn enough money to buy a competitive racing car.
The Formula 1 years: A meteoric progression saw him leap from Formula 3 to Formula 1 in just five months. He drove for Hesketh, Ensign, Theodore, Tyrrell, and eventually secured a top-tier seat with Williams in 1982.
The American chapter and disaster: Frustrated by internal team dynamics and unfulfilled potential at Williams, he moved to the US to race Indycars. In 1984, his life changed forever when he suffered a colossal accident at Michigan; his car disintegrated against the perimeter wall at 217 mph, leaving him severely injured.
The ultimate survivor: Against all odds, he recovered and returned to sports car racing, scoring consecutive overall victories at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1990 and 1991. He later successfully transformed himself into a hugely popular TV commentator, interviewer, and pundit.
