Memories of the Bear: A Biography of Denny Hulme by Eoin Young

When Denny Hulme won the 1967 Formula 1 World Championship, he jokingly asked Jim Clark to do 'the fame bit' for him as he so disliked being in the spotlight. Behind the wheel of a racing car, however, the self-effacing New Zealander, known affectionately as 'The Bear', showed ferocious determination. Racing was a passion. This book charts his illustrious career, which included eight Grands Prix victories and two CanAm sports car titles.

About Eoin Young

Ace Grand Prix columnist Eoin Young knew 'The Bear' well and tells his story with insight and affection. This book completes the trilogy on his home country's three finest drivers and follows McLaren Memories and Forza Amon!

Table of Contents

In 1960 Hulme won at Ardmore in a 2-litre Cooper-Climax, the same year he was awarded a New Zealand Drivers to Europe scholarship. Three years later, working as a mechanic for Jack Brabham, he was given a race in the Formula Junior Brabham. His first Grand Prix win was at Monaco in 1967. In 1968 Hulme signed with fellow Kiwi, Bruce McLaren, to race in F1 and CanAm. He won the CanAm crown that season and in 1970, when Bruce was killed, he took over as team leader and won it again. After retirement Hulme raced regularly at the Australian Bathurst circuit - a well-respected personality on the international touring car circuit. He died there in 1992, competing a BMW.
