3.0 out of 5 stars Didn't like it..., 26 Jan 2004
By D. Styles (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
fistly, must mention that I do race...

Bought this and Skip Barbers performance driving book.
Found this a bit simplified, and a bit iffy in places.

Maybe ok if you don't race,.. and you are looking for an understanding of techniques, or if you are a novice, but will not give you that final 5% on the racetrack I feel.

maybe I just didn't like the format, but I felt it wasn't in depth enough for me.... and felt that you could come out worse off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful and easy to read, 31 Oct 2000
By A Customer
I bought this book based solely on reviews on amazon. It was exactly as described. Easy to read and right to the point. I have a few other books on race driving, but this is the first I read from start to finish without beeing bored.

If you are interested in learning or understanding race driving, buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great little book, 15 Oct 2008
A very good book, easy to read, and some very useful hints, which may either be new to you, or simply make you re-think what you already know.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written and clear
I am just starting to race and am trying to understand some of the techniques, physics etc. I thought it was very good and I feel that it has increased my understanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful and helpful
A great read and very easy to understand yet still covering every aspect in great detail. I'm now far more aware of how the car should and shouldn't handle and I'm far more... Read more
