Truth really is more extraordinary than fiction. If you tried to sell a screenplay about a Grand Prix racing driver who turned into a spy for the British government during World War Two, you might expect to be told that your imagination had run away with you. But that is exactly what became of “W Williams” – the driver who won the first ever Monaco Grand Prix in 1929. Any driver who tackled the beasts that were pre-war Grand Prix machinery were by definition exceptionally brave. Willy Grover was no exception – but he used that bravery to serve a higher purpose when war broke out a few years later. Originally a chauffeur, Grover became a racer for Ettore Bugatti’s team. He retired from the sport years before the onset of war. He later joined the Special Operations Executive and spearheaded a resistance movement based in Paris, to sabotage the German occupation forces. “The Grand Prix Saboteurs” is the product of 18 years research by Joe Saward, former editor of Autosport and … [Read more...] about “The Grand Prix Saboteurs” (Joe Saward, 2006) · RaceFans

Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 5 MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican prosecutors announced Saturday night that they are withdrawing a case against a woman who was sentenced to six years in prison for killing a man as he raped and attacked her. In a ruling last week that touched off a public outcry, a court in Mexico State said that while it agreed 23-year-old Roxana Ruiz was raped in 2021, it found her guilty of homicide with “excessive use of legitimate defense.” It also ordered Ruiz to pay more than $16,000 in reparations to the family of her attacker. Feminist groups, which have supported Ruiz's defense, angrily protested, saying the ruling was criminalizing survivors of sexual violence while protecting perpetrators in a country with high levels of gender-based violence and femicides.
