Book Reviews of Speed Secrets: Professional Race Driving Techniques (Speed Secrets)
Book Review: fast results for the typical daily driver
Summary: 5 Stars
i got this book just yesterday, read a few chapters, and already see and feel results in my day-to-day commute. don't be fooled into thinking that the information in this book can only be used on the race track. there is a lot of information here that is useful for driving in general. other than driving at the limit (i.e. redline), everything is practical for better day to day driving. already today on my usual drive to get errands, i found myself more focused, remembering certain instructions and guidelines. when to downshift, how soon, how abrupt, how to feel the car, how to turn, how to steer...these are basics covered in two chapters that made my commute around town that much more enjoyable, safer, and smarter. this book is definitely a keeper.
only complaint is that it is short, but it is 1 in a series of many books of the same title.
i recommend the full length textbook by Danny Sullivan, "Going Faster" as the main course book and this book as a cliff-notes or just a reminder handbook to keep in the car with you.
