Going fast takes a lot more than strong motors and big balls!
I haven't read them all, but this is certainly my favorite book about the techniques and principles of race driving. I read it when I first did a Skip Barber class in 2007, and again before a lapping day in 2009. The diagrams and photos are slick, clear and extremely informative, and the sound bites from experts like Danny Sullivan, Dorsey Schroeder, Brian Till fill in the chalk talk with actual experience. (It's no surprise that all of those have gone on to successful broadcast careers.)
Fairly technical, with copious diagrams and discussions of racing technique. The occasional anecdotes are rather dry, but usually serve to illustrate a point. Recommended for anyone interested in racing and isn't afraid of a small amount of abstract math.
