Veloce has a very special book on the way this year! Driven by Desire - The Desiré Wilson story (published this summer), and is planned to be launched at this years Goodwood Revival. Watch this space for further updates on that!

Last week we were pleased to welcome Desiré and her husband Alan to Veloce House. We recorded a video interview with them before they headed off to the Goodwood Festival of Speed Press Day.

Driven by Desire - The Desiré Wilson story
By Alan Wilson.
The story of the driver rated by many as the best woman ever to race cars, and the most capable ever to have driven in Formula One. Her 50-year career began at the age of five in South Africa, moving to Holland and England and then the USA, before gaining renewed life at the famous Goodwood Revival historic race events. This fascinating story shows that a woman can, and did, fight her way to the top of motorsport.
