Thomas Raymond Mays CBE (1 August 1899 6 January 1980) was an auto racing driver and entrepreneur from Bourne, Lincolnshire, England. Raymond Mays in the story of his motoring years, gives us much more than a history of motor-racing. This is an account of a life spent in the service of motor-racing, of almost overwhelming difficulties which have been overcome, and of the fulfilment of a life's ambition to produce a representative racing car that could uphold the prestige of his beloved country. He has probably won more races and made more lap records and fastest times of the day than any English driver, but perhaps the greatest achievements of a distinguished career have been the launching of two great projects - firstly, the E.R.A., and now, the B.R.M.
