Sports
Car and Competition Driving (Paperback - June 1963)
As an accomplished racer and a trained engineer, Paul Frre- Le Mans
winner, Grand Prix driver, and Road & Track Magazine's European editor-is
unusually qualified to discuss both the practical skills necessary to become
a top driver and the physics behind vehicle dynamics. Indeed, as 1961 World
Driving Champion Phil Hill remarks in his foreword, "It is the analytical
ability of Paul the engineer matched to the perception of Paul the race
driver that makes "Sports Car and Competition Driving" such a valuable
book...Considerable amounts of time can be gained on track by a driver
utilizing the countless lessons in this 'textbook'." First published in
1963, "Sports Car and Competition Driving" sold tens of thousands of copies,
establishing it as the definitive book on driving. Now Frre has revised
and updated his classic to explain to drivers how to meet the new challenges
posed by radical advances in technology. Frre discusses the physical laws
governing a car at speed, giving particular emphasis to the critical areas
where the most time is won or lost: the corner. He also recommends proven
approaches to practicing, setting up a car, qualifying, passing, and endurance
racing-to name only a few of the many topics covered. With 78 photographs,
illustrations and diagrams, including historical shots of great drivers
in competition, "Sports Car and Competition Driving" is required reading
for anyone interested in racing or becoming a more masterful driver on
the road. Amazon.com
