Book Reviews of Speed Secrets 6: The Perfect Driver (Speed Secrets)

Book Review: Taking your racing to the next step
Summary: 5 Stars

The Speed Secrets series overall (there's one I wasn't so fond of) does a fantastic job of helping a new driver learn various techniques, then transitions into someone with a bit of racing experience. Speed Secrets 6 is an excellent resource for a person looking to take their game to the next level, whether that be someone who feels comfortable on track but is a mid-pack driver, to someone who is typically a front-running driver looking for more. Probably my favorite part of the book deals with learning a new track, or one that you don't have too much experience on. Novices are taught to really focus on learning lines, but this book provides fantastic insight for how a more experienced driver should approach this - and it's not about learning the new track's line as you might think. "Drive the car, not the track." I have a big event coming up at Mid Ohio Sports Car Complex and typically run at the pointy end of the field, but am confident this book will give me another edge.
