Ian Flux, better known as Fluxie, is one of the most charismatic drivers to have taken to the racetrack and his story is one of perseverance against the odds. His new book titled For Flux Sake is his story and also a story of a lot of beer. “Fluxie” as his pals called him, was one of the fastest drivers at the Formula 3 level. He won numerous races at the national level and his speed never diminished despite a wild lifestyle. The book is a colorful ride from the travails of an up-and-coming racing driver through the story of a man desperately trying to spin the plates to keep a professional career going. While his is not an example of the ambitious young karters of today, the tale is sure to cause you to raise a glass to this unique racer. The book is published by Evro Publishing.
