Motor racing in general and Formula 1 in particular was something completely unknown in Spain in the 1970s, when Emilio de Villota was determined to make his way in this exciting competition.
These were the golden years of F1, which was beginning to professionalize and become the global spectacle it is today, but still retained the epicness of its beginnings and the thrill of extreme risk.
It was an era populated by great personalities, such as Stewart, Fittipaldi, Lauda, Andretti or Hunt, and where there was space for more modest drivers who were following their dreams.
Emilio de Villota, with limited resources, uncertain on many occasions, was an exceptional protagonist and witness of that time, and also of the exciting Sport Prototype races of the 1980s.
Emilio de Villota's biography helps us to contextualize a key figure in Spanish motor racing, who paved the way for all those who came after him.
