There's a film on youtube about Warby I think. As for Britten I know the story fairly well, whilst I don't have anything to do with it anymore my background is in engineering/motorbikes.
For more motorbike stuff there's Peter Williams who was an engineer/rider for Norton back in the day and pioneered the idea of a monocoque chassis and disk brakes. Also a Kiwi guy (seems to be an antipodean theme here...) called Kim Newcombe who did reasonably well in top flight GP racing using an outboard motor re-purposed into a bike chassis beating the factory bikes. Lastly, possibly the award for most off the wall interpretation of any motor racing rules has to go to Smokey Yunick: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smokey_Yunick

That's awesome, anymore information on him. Britten has a good set of films if you're interested.
