George Harrison

Harrison was the Beatle who actually followed motor racing. He was twelve when he saw his first Grand Prix, the 1955 British at Aintree, collected photographs of drivers as a boy, and later wrote 'Faster' about Jackie Stewart and Ronnie Peterson. The cars followed the interest — an Aston Martin bought new at the height of Beatlemania, and thirty years on, one of the hundred McLaren F1s.
