4.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic summary of the race car driving "essentials",
By A Customer
This review is from: Drive to Win: The Essential Guide to Race Driving (Paperback)
Carroll Smith outlines all the skills and attributes that it takes to be a first class driver. There are sections on race craft, fitness both mental and physical, chassis tuning, tire selection, data acquisition, and general tuning concepts. A well-written and informative book for the race car driver both experienced and novice. Unlike some of the other books that I have read in this category, it was entertaining and informative as opposed to the "text book" style that seems to be so common!

Drive to win is a must for all drivers wishing to improve...,
By wonder@aip.org (Glen Cove, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drive to Win: The Essential Guide to Race Driving (Paperback)
A perfect addition to Mr. Smith's line of books is "Drive to Win". If you wish to improve your skills as a hobbyist or professional then read this book. The book is slightly slanted to the race driver who wishes to enter the professional ranks, but is very informative for the non-professional as well.

A book for who wants to become a RACEDRIVER,
By
This review is from: Drive to Win: The Essential Guide to Race Driving (Paperback)
I have read 3 books about racecar driving recently, they are 1. Speed secret 2. Think to win 3. Drive to win. In these books, "Speed secret" is the most simple one like a introduction of racing drive; "Think to win" is a little more complex, let you know how thinking leads to win; "Drive to win" let you understand more way to analysis driving. It contains almost everything what a professional racedriver must know. If you want to master in driving, must read it. My suggestion is to buy another book about this topic and compare two opinions-you will find which old tale is wong (or you can say, not complete).
