Some early feedback for Ian Wagstaff's John Woolfe book (link to order below).

'Truthful and accurate. A great deal of hard work must have gone into making it all happen. Excellent.' - Digby Martland

'If you are a follower of Le Mans, sports car racing in general, Porsches or driver biographies, you will find something here to interest you.' - John S Allen (respected author and historian)

'It's a lovely piece of work, in (surprisingly) landscape format, which is rare nowadays but, in my opinion, is much better than portrait format for dealing with photographs of racing cars. And photos there are, aplenty. The vast majority I have never seen before, and the book includes more photos of Woolfe's Porsche than I have ever seen. What's more, they are all very well reproduced, and many are in colour.'

John Woolfe was one of motor racing’s great characters throughout the 1960s. A driver with considerable talent and boundless enthusiasm, he drove an eclectic range of cars throughout his career, from Top Fuel dragsters to sports prototypes. Woolfe is most associated with the Porsche 917, a car whi...

COMING SUMMER 2026

John Woolfe - The Man Who Bought a Porsche 917

The story of John Woolfe's remarkable life, and untimely death at Le Mans in 1969. A force in both circuit and drag racing, Woolfe was able to acquire one of the very first Porsche 917s, a car even the Stuttgart firm's works drivers were wary of. Written by multiple award winning author, Ian Wagstaff, and Woolfe's business partner, Dave Riswick, the book draws heavily on the John Woolfe Racing (JWR) company's archive. Following the death of its founder, the JWR name became well known in the US car and drag racing scene in the UK, remaining active until this day. The Foreword is provided by Richard Attwood, who knew Woolfe and won at Le Mans driving a 917 in 1970.
