Book Reviews of The Unfair Advantage
Book Review: A great read for anyone interested in car racing
Summary: 4 Stars
Donohue's very enjoyable autobiography goes into considerable detail about his racing career while understandably ignoring his personal life. His descriptions of the early days, when engine dynos were uncommon, and suspension setup was by guess and by God, are eye-opening.
It would have been nice to have some more technical details, but as he points out, they are a part of his team's "Unfair Advantage".
