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

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.

Oh and, Signora Taruffi's beautiful too....
