Emmo never did the school course, he was already a multiple Brazilian F.Vee winner when he arrived in the UK. Jim admitted there was little he could teach him anyway, a 'natural'.
Whoops! I knew he was Emmo's manager before Chapman got hold of him. Must dig out my Dad's Jim Russell book. He knew Jim many years ago as he grew up in Downham Market. I can just remember Jim had a full race simulator at his garage based around a F3 I think.
