Book Reviews of Winning Autocross Techniques (Speed Secrets)

Book Review: Ross Bentley's Winning Auto-X Techniques
Summary: 5 Stars

When I first bought this book I wasn't expecting much since there were already 5 books in the Speed Secrets Series. Luckily I was surprised when I found out this book would become my favorite in the series. I've been driving for 2 years now, and one of the first things I did was to buy the first Speed Secrets. That alone made my learning curve very sharp, from karts to cars I used his books to help me become a podium driver. As a fan of his series it appears as though he's taken the best out of his other books and combined them along with specific Auto-x techniques to make this book. Bentley goes through actual physical and mental techniques to help you maximize your seat time and to give you the foundation to practice while you're at home. This is the one in the series I take with me to track days and Auto-x's to review before my sessions. I've bought 3 copies in the past month as presents for friends that are also drivers. Winning Auto-X Techniques is easily the best driving handbook for any racer.

Summary of Winning Autocross Techniques (Speed Secrets)

With its solo set-up, more subdued speeds, and endlessly varying events and courses, autocross is the easiest, safest,  and least expensive way to get into motorsports.  Anyone with a helmet and a car can do it.  Of course, it doesn?t hurt to have some driving skills, which is where this book comes in.  As a veteran racer and professional driving coach, Ross Bentley knows what it takes to compete and to win, and he gives readers the benefit of that knowledge in Speed Secrets 7:  Autocross Driving Fundamentals. 

 

The first in the Speed Secrets series to address a specific form of racing, this volume focuses on the skills critical to autocross success:  car handling and driver skill at high speeds on unique courses.  Though slower than other motorsports in absolute terms, autocross, with its high number of turns per minute, can challenge even the most expert driver.  Adapting his time-proven method of teaching drivers how to go fast, Bentley clearly details the steps and techniques that help autocross drivers maintain control and dominate a course at speed.  Though specific to autocross, and essential to mastering its particular challenges, his advice and instruction in this book will prove invaluable to drivers who go on to road racing as well.
