I hope all have read Piero Taruffi's Techniques of Motor Racing, available
from Rober Bentley and most auto book distributors. It gives the first (and
still the most) coherent description of the "science" of race driving, first
telling why you want to late apex , for example. If you havent't read it,
get a copy and get to it. There'll be an exam at the next track session!
