Derek Jacobs

Derek Jacobs, bekend as die Silver Fox vir sy kenmerkende grys hare, woon in Kaapstad en leef vir motorsport. Hy werk voltyds as motorsport-administrateur en skryf oor sy grootste passie—tydrenne. Jacobs se eerste boek verduidelik rally-wedrenne op 'n verstaanbare manier, terwyl sy tweede werk sy persoonlike reis en suksesse in dié sport vertel.

Hy het in Wynberg grootgeword en was een van min persone van kleur in die motorsportwêreld, waar hy as medebestuurder en administrateur baanbrekerswerk verrig het. Jacobs put inspirasie uit die Bybel, sy ouers en mense wat moeilike omstandighede oorwin. Hy lees graag die gedig Sea Fever, wat hom herinner aan deursettingsvermoë.

Hy reis so gereeld as moontlik en glo stories gee hoop. Sy raad aan lesers: Hou aan veg, selfs wanneer dinge moeilik raak—soos in 'n tydren, tel elke draai en elke tree vorentoe.
