Fit for Motorsport: Improve Your Race Performance with Better Physical and Mental Training (Hardcover)

Probably the most important section relates to what to do in a motorsport emergency. This has recently been an issue with top drivers following some serious incidents where the fellow competitor felt absolutely useless while medical help arrived. It also tells the competitor on what to expect when being rescued and extricated from a crash and how to aid in one's rescue.
All in all, this is singularly the best (and cheapest) investment I hope to make in my racing career in order to improve my results. As Jim McRae states on the back cover, I too believe that everyone from an armchair driver to marshal to driver to spectator should have a copy of Fit For Motorsport on their shelves.
Well done Dr Jutley!

Easy to read and simple to understand. Everything from examples of what the top drivers (like Colin McRae) do, to how to make your own isotonic drinks and sports psychology.

Invaluable advice for those wanting to improve their times, and themselves.

You could read a similiar book and turn around and say well where is the proof in all this! Well in this book it has examples, pictures and exercises that the people from the very top of motorsport take part in. This includes Michael Schumancher, David Coultard, Colin McRae and many other top wel known names. Also when Prof Sid Watkins (Medical Director in F1)has written the foreward to the book, I think you dont need any more proof on how 'solid' this book is on human fitness for sport.

Not only does it go thru' exercises that are helpful, it goes thru training timetables, diets, the definition of fitness, your mental approach, and many many exciting and interesting ways to develop your fitness all backed up by Dr Raj Jutley (a motorsport competitor himself) and some of the top motorsport drivers with full colour pictures and explanations which makes the whole book an interesting read not only from front to back, but even as a reference book for whatever topic you need infomation from. You can even browse the book for thepictures and read the captions to pick up an awful lot of useful info! The book would even be of an interesting read to any sport enthusiast too!

There is even a section which deals with the emergency side of motorsport, on how to deal with injured competitors in an accident. The approach to take and the all essential dos and donts on how to deal with someone in an accident which could mean the difference between life and death for the injured!

I feel this book has one big mistake, in that it should of been named without the Motor in the title as it is a book that should be promoted to all sports. The day when the vision/guide of this whole book goes in to practice in real life. Motorsport will no doubt become a safer and more enjoyable sport all round for sure.
