The Fred Opert Story
Fred Opert was a fascinating motorsport entrepreneur who lived life to the full. I met him in the mid-seventies when he started his racing partnership with Keke Rosberg. After he died I decided to write his story.
Opert was a successful racer, race-car importer/dealer, race team owner and F1 team manager, before tragedy caused him to walk away from the sport he loved. My story follows Fred Opert’s whirlwind lifestyle, talent-spotting successes, and the trials and tribulations of managing the ATS F1 team. At least twenty future F1drivers came up through the ranks with Opert. I interviewed many of these and many of the people who worked with him.
