DEREK DALY EVENTS IN MAY

Derek Daly’s autobiography will be published in May 2026. It’s a spellbinding read, as renowned Formula 1 journalist Maurice Hamilton knows because he has already read the manuscript. Maurice wrote the foreword to the book and stated: ‘Derek’s experiences — and a powerful ability to depict them — move this story beyond the scope of the most skilful fiction writer.’

Three events have been lined up where Derek will talk about his book and sign copies. Two are admission by pre-booked ticket only, as explained below, and are sure to sell out quickly.

The Brooklands Museum is hosting ‘An Evening with Derek Daly’ on Tuesday 19 May starting at 7.30pm. Tickets are available now at £18 for Brooklands Museum members and £25 for non-members. For more details and to book tickets, go to:

The following evening, Wednesday 20 May, Derek will be at the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, where the venue is the Brabazon Restaurant and the start time is 7pm. Tickets are available now at £15 or £7.50 for Museum Friends. For more details and to book tickets, go to:
