Beschreibung

Tony Pond's name may not have echoed as loudly as some of his peers, but his impact on British rallying was immense and enduring. This definitive biography traces the life of the gruff Derbyshire driver whose mastery behind the wheel of Group 4 Escorts, Metro 6R4s, and Chevette HSRs carved out a place among rally legends. From humble beginnings in Leicestershire and Derbyshire garages to the treacherous mountain passes of the Isle of Man and the roar of the RAC Rally, Pond's career was defined by technical brilliance, raw speed, and a tireless work ethic.

Through exclusive family archives, interviews with teammates, engineers, and co-drivers, this narrative reveals the man behind the helmet: fiercely private yet deeply passionate, a driver-engineer whose feedback shaped some of Britain's most iconic rally cars. King of the Hill not only chronicles Pond's thrilling career but also places it within the wider cultural and technical landscape of British motorsport, capturing an era of grit, innovation, and relentless ambition. For rally enthusiasts and motorsport historians alike, this is the essential story of a driver who embodied the heart and soul of British rallying.
