The story of these racing legends feels almost cinematic. I wonder what motivated Neal Bascomb to focus on this particular chapter of history and these characters.

The juxtaposition of high-stakes racing with the looming threat of WWII made the story so intense. Did this contrast heighten the stakes for others as well?

Balancing historical facts with personal stories can be tricky. I’m curious how Neal Bascomb chose what to reveal about these real people to bring their stories to life.
