hello Guys,
I want to get some understanding about driving techniques in theory before hit any training session. I want to avoid this situation when the coach try to explain you something and you don't have an idea.

I used to run in the mountain, but I more than that to really enjoy my Evo. Any good reading or book that you recommend?

Thanks in advance

I really like Speed Secrets. The prep is quite important. It really helped me as some that know me. I was a really crappy driver and now just a crappy driver. kart driving is good along with track days - instruction from good instructors is a huge help too!

I would highly recommend "Drive to Win" By Caroll Smith and also Speed secrets is good.

If you have interests in other vehicle dynamics aspects/ tuning/ race car prep/ design then I would also strongly recommend "Tune to Win", "Engineer to win", "Prepare to Win" and "Nuts bolt and fasteners" by Caroll Smith. They are a fairly easy read but covers important fundamentals and aspects of various topics.
