Not sure of the theology here and the physics are a bit suspect, but that final showdown with Schumacher is worth the price of admission... My pulse rate is STILL up there!

This review is from: Miracle at Monaco: The Legend of Chapeau Noir (Paperback)

Young driving genius wins everything, is headed for F1. Kills best friend in racing accident. Retreats to monastery. 30 years pass. Wins millions in lottery. Requests two year leave. Finances Morgan F1 car. Enters Monaco grand prix cold and beats the best using supernatural skills. Retreats back into monastery.

Sounds pretty dorky, but the writing is better than the plot. It is a quick read and reasonably accurate technically. Except for TTO. In this tale it stands for Triple Throttle Oversteer, the supernatural trick that allows you to take first gear corners in sixth, reach 251mph and knock two seconds off the lap record to pass Shummy.

If you've ever wondered what it's like to drive one of these incredibly quick machines, this book did it for me. Am still out of breath! Talk about a challenging movie... (But I hope Hollywood gives it a 'go'!)
