	'HAWKEYE’: The rapid and outrageous life of the Australian racing driver Paul Hawkins Ivan McLeod Few drivers have hit the headlines quite like Paul Hawkins, whose exploits on the race track were matched by his prowess for causing social mayhem out of the car. He crashed a Formula One Lotus into the harbour of Monte Carlo, but his real forte was sports car racing, where he was a factory driver for Ford, Ferrari and Porsche all in one season. His tragic death in a fiery accident at Oulton Park robbed motor racing of one of its most colourful characters, as the author reminds us in this tribute to an unquenchable spirit and a fun-loving character.
