Ivan Mauger was awarded the MBE in 1976, the OBE in 1989, and was voted the prestigious Millennium Man of Speedway by the readers of Speedway Star and Vintage Speedway Magazine in December 1999. He was inducted into the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame in 1990. To complete these illustrious awards Ivan Mauger was selected by the Olympic Committee to carry the Olympic Torch at the Sydney Games, an honour which he performed on June 12, 2000.
IVAN MAUGER, OBE, MBE, six times world champion, never did anything by halves during his stellar career. The same attention to detail is evident in his eagerly-awaited autobiography The Will to Win.
The 448-page hardback, with around 160,000 words, more than 200 illustrations and a 16-page full colour section, is the most detailed and comprehensive book published on speedway racing.
The launch at the British Grand Prix at Cardiff on July 10 will be followed by a nationwide tour which will take him to 17 venues.
Ivan will be conducting a separate launch in New Zealand and Australia in September 2010.
