ROSCO The Fastest Aussie on Earth

Fewer people have driven a car at over 620 mph (1,000 km/h) than have walked on the Moon.

Rosco McGlashan is one of them!

Rosco, the Australian land speed record holder, is building the world’s most powerful car with a 62,000-pound thrust rocket engine (equivalent to around 200,000 horsepower). He is attempting to break the World Land Speed Record and push it to 1,600 km/h (1,000 mph). This biography is an incredible story of a motor racing legend obsessed with speed, raw horsepower, and living on the edge.

This book is certainly not your typical motor racing memoir. Rosco’s early life was undoubtedly challenging and not one of privilege like some in motor racing. However, when things got bad, and he found himself in prison and solitary confinement, his life could have spiralled into a lifetime of crime. Instead, he found salvation through his love of speed and motor racing.

This memoir chronicles his journey, leading to incredible adventures and Rosco meeting inspiring people. There is something in this biography for everyone. It will make you laugh and possibly cry, hopefully leaving you motivated on your journey.

The subject solely dictates the style of this book, Rosco McGlashan, a straight-talking Australian motor racing legend and a little bit rough around the edges. I have always felt Rosco’s life should be written as it was told to me and many others in his own words. I know you will enjoy this book, and it isn’t just for motor racing fans. It’s a human story about one man’s journey and obsession with speed to overcome many setbacks to become THE FASTEST MAN ON EARTH!

So, sit down, grab a coffee and strap yourself in for a fast ride and one of the most incredible motor racing memoirs I believe you will ever read.
