5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, 22 Sep 2001
By t1pch@aol.com (Sunderland, England.) - See all my reviews
We motorsport fans tend to rate books on our subject rather highly as a matter of course. Yet there are times when we may wish we'd been rather more circumspect. Getting one's hands on this book is surely one of those times, as Taruffo's writing is outstanding. Ten stars. Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic book covering the concepts and techniques of racing, 8 Feb 1999
By A Customer
The timeless book which has taught hundreds of racing enthusiasts to exceed their expectations and conquer the race track. Although this book was originally written 40 years ago, there are few books which detail the techniques and concepts behind motor racing so clearly. This is definately a book that belongs on every true racing enthusiasts bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars A marvelous technical manual for race driving., 24 Aug 1998
By A Customer
Signor Taruffi, a Civil Engineer, was one of the great race drivers of the 1950's. His engineering background gave him the precision in writing, as well as in driving. Charming, hand-drawn diagrams in this book make the well-written text even easier to grasp. There are plenty of photographs that show famous tracks and great drivers of the past. Oh and, Signora Taruffi's beautiful too....
