When our son, Christopher, announced his serious intent to become a racing driver I pointed out that, having grown up in a racing family, he of all youngsters should realize the odds against success (say 10,000:1). Read the first page

I lost count how many times I re-read this book.,
By Chi-Hwa Ting (Los Altos, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drive to Win: The Essential Guide to Race Driving (Paperback)
I first got this book with I was only a kid doing DE's and track days. At that time I found the book to be helpful but way too advanced for me. Now 2 years later with karting races and Skip Barber I often find myself re-reading sections of the book and understanding more. I won't be surprised to re-read it again as I get deeper into the skippy school race series.Quite a book that have always been there with me throughout my new born racing life.

This review is from: Drive to Win: The Essential Guide to Race Driving (Paperback)
Very important reading for anyone who claims to know anything about race car driving. From going through and understanding what was said (and I was helped immensely by reading a couple of the more technical volumes Mr. Smith has written), I was able to increase my ability to consistently drive closer to the edge.If you already own a copy of this bible, and you want a new one, I've found it's possible to get signed copies directly from Carroll if you look online hard enough! Obviously, this book is a stand-out in motorsport history, as far as technique and promotion of understanding what really goes on in a driver's helmet, behind the wheel of a beast he's trying to tame. (Then again, if you've read Mr. Smith's other books, you know there's no reason for that much struggle). For any motorsport finatic, officionado, or simply someone who is interested in it all, CHECK OUT THIS BOOK. You will learn a lot and be able to associate with what's being said. This book is worth about 500 hours of seat-time to a newbie in this game.

Carroll Smith does an excellent job of laying everything out on the table in this book. He does a great job of giving insite to less glories sections of racing. Highly recommend.
