Review
"This new book presents more racing knowledge in an easy to comprehend, adapt and use than any previous ones over decades of racing. It is not a quick read but an excellent one with much to ponder, reflect on and put into practice. After each track session you'll probably return to it to further hone your skills and fitness both mental and physical. It is complete coaching for the vintage or amateur and it also has many items for the serious aspiring oval or road racer. This means team building, team dynamics, sponsors and sponsorships and much more. It has much to offer the vintage racer no matter the type of car or the intensity of the competition. Buy it, read it, practice the info and you'll be a safer, quicker and more satisfied race car driver." - Vintage Oval Racing
"If you are a track-day driver or a regular racer, I guaranteed the $20 or less you pay for his book will be the most cost-effective way to lower your lap time you ever invested." - Keith Martin's Sports Car Market
“Ross Bentley’s Speed Secrets series of coaching books are a favorite around our office: they really help the driver to grasp what it takes to win. From cornering to the business of racing, Ross has covered it all. Ultimate Speed Secrets is a condensed version of all of his previous books and serves as a good refresher for those of us who haven’t read his back catalog in years. Put it on your shelf, or in your gear bag for those long nights before the big race.” – Grassroots Motorsports
“Virtually everyone who races wants to improve their technique and lap times. Ross Bentley is one of the best-known racing instructors who has been able to put to words what he teaches in person, down to choosing lines and adapting to different cars and trucks. This is the latest version of his previous work with completely new text, photos and diagrams. Well worth the read to get your needed speed!” - Vintage Motorsport
“Author Ross Bentley dishes on what every professional track driver knows about driving that you probably don’t. He’s no amateur; Bentley won the United States Road Racing Championship while driving for BMW-backed racing team, and the 2003 24 Hours of Daytona. Even if you’re not venturing onto a track, knowing how to clip an apex should help on freeway ramps.” - The Virginian-Pilot

If you have the previous iterations of his books, this doesn't add much more., Nov 1 2011

This review is from: Ultimate Speed Secrets: The Complete Guide to High-Performance and Race Driving (Paperback)
I already owned the original Speed Secrets and Speed Secrets 2 and was hoping to get a lot more insight into racing and high performance driving from this book titled "Ultimate Speed Secrets". Unfortunately, a lot of what Ross Bentley says in this new book is a copy and paste of the information in his old books. If you don't have any of his books, then I would recommend getting this one and foregoing all of the other books. If you already have the original Speed Secrets and Speed Secrets 2, then don't bother buying this one as it doesn't add much more.

Ultimate skill cultivator for *real* drivers, Nov 19 2011
By Trackjunkie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ultimate Speed Secrets: The Complete Guide to High-Performance and Race Driving (Paperback)
This book was an unbelievable read. My expectations were kinda high having been exposed to various individual pages prior to buying it. You will truly learn how to in an ongoing way, introspectively analyze your driving skills make application of what you learn academically from the text. In addition the business of motorsports is discussed so that one is able be more than a hot shoe thereby exploiting the skills honed. I can't recommend it enough really and will now be bringing it w/ me to the track as a reference to balance out my efforts to find more time in corners etc.
