Fantastic book if you are serious about simracing。 The techniques explained are really helpful and it is very simple to read。 It does get repetitive sometimes but that's good because you keep reviewing stuff you may have forgotten。 On a second read it does get boring tho。 There are some sections of the book about the mental part of racing explaining things like "mental imagery" and such。 I did not practice these so I can't comment on them。 Fantastic book if you are serious about simracing。 The techniques explained are really helpful and it is very simple to read。 It does get repetitive sometimes but that's good because you keep reviewing stuff you may have forgotten。 On a second read it does get boring tho。 There are some sections of the book about the mental part of racing explaining things like "mental imagery" and such。 I did not practice these so I can't comment on them。 。。。more

I started in this 1，5 years ago。 Picked it up recently to start over and finished it in about a week。 If racing or driving fast at all is your passion， this is a great book to read。 Great insights， valuable tips， some methods to work with and besides that a very interesting read with some nice stories to support his theories。

Must read for any driver who wants to improve。 I have been racing for 20+ years。 Still can not figure out why I did not read this book earlier。

Really great， super detailed guide to race driving。 There was a fair amount of fluff and some repetitive information， but for the most part this is just page after page of valuable information。 There are also plenty of visuals。 I'd recommend this to any racer at any level。 Really great， super detailed guide to race driving。 There was a fair amount of fluff and some repetitive information， but for the most part this is just page after page of valuable information。 There are also plenty of visuals。 I'd recommend this to any racer at any level。 。。。more

More suitable for racers who don't enjoy reading。 Explanations are concise without missing much。 Many chapters only took a page。 I love the unexpected tips you never thought of such as adjusting your wing mirror。 And it comes with colorful illustrations which is a nice bonus。 More suitable for racers who don't enjoy reading。 Explanations are concise without missing much。 Many chapters only took a page。 I love the unexpected tips you never thought of such as adjusting your wing mirror。 And it comes with colorful illustrations which is a nice bonus。 。。。more

Great resource for learning the fundamentals of racing， but it's brought down by some dubious psychology and neurobiology。 For example， he talks about learning styles， something which has been largely discredited for awhile now。 He also talks about being able to improve your "left and right brain integration" and thus your racing ability by doing unrelated cross-hemisphere exercise， which as far as I can tell has little evidence to support it。 Great resource for learning the fundamentals of racing， but it's brought down by some dubious psychology and neurobiology。 For example， he talks about learning styles， something which has been largely discredited for awhile now。 He also talks about being able to improve your "left and right brain integration" and thus your racing ability by doing unrelated cross-hemisphere exercise， which as far as I can tell has little evidence to support it。 。。。more

Good technical read on driving techniques。 Not an easy read。 This is potentially something I could come back to or get people to read to build a better licensing system。

This book is THE resource for race drivers。 There is a wealth of practical knowledge and you can't digest it all in one sitting; you keep going back to it as a reference。 This book is THE resource for race drivers。 There is a wealth of practical knowledge and you can't digest it all in one sitting; you keep going back to it as a reference。 。。。more
