Dick Salmon on celebrating the legacy of Raymond Mays with new book

At the age of 99, Dick Salmon, a former world championship-winning racing car mechanic, continues to contribute to the world of motorsport.

His latest endeavour is the publication of “Raymond’s Legacy – A Century of Motorsport in Bourne,” a book dedicated to the life and achievements of Raymond Mays, the pioneering entrepreneur who established the renowned BRM racing team in Bourne, Lincolnshire.

The book delves into Mays’ early life as a hill climb enthusiast and his subsequent development of the ERA (English Racing Automobiles) and BRM brands, culminating in Graham Hill’s 1962 Formula One World Championship victory.

Salmon, who worked closely with Mays and the BRM team throughout his career, draws upon his personal experiences and in-depth research to provide a unique and insightful perspective on the history of motorsport in Bourne.

“Raymond’s Legacy” is a testament to the enduring legacy of Raymond Mays and the significant contribution of Bourne to the world of motor racing.
