For Flux Sake: an open goal, that title, especially as his visor strip said the same thing (best mate Tiff Needell’s doing), but it’s a flavour of the way Ian Flux treats life. And he has stuff to reveal that you’ve never read in a driver’s memoir before.
The racing is an old tale. Fluxie drove so many things in his career – Formula Vee, Formula 3, saloons, Atlantic, Thundersaloons and -sports, XJR-15s – but despite some great wins and series titles he never properly broke through. Well, he got to Formula 1, but as a mechanic/engineer with Token and Embassy Hill – he drove Graham once who swore “never again”. He also recalls engineering Agostini in Aurora Formula 1 – “nicest guy ever”, who drove to Harrods from Donington to get some delicacies Flux fancied.
