Book Note: W.E. Butterworth, Grand Prix Driver

This note contains spoilers for the book.

Butterworth is the same person as W.E.B. Griffin (quite possibly his real name, even).

A juvenile, set in the racing field. A NASCAR driver decides to try to break into Grand Prix racing in Europe when his racing team in the states folds and his partner dies in a racing crash.

As usual, he encounters helpful and unhelpful people and a small number of bad people. The switch from stock cars to Grand Prix gives an opportunity to describe the differences in cars, courses, and so forth.
