The Technique of Motor Racing

In his prophetic foreword to The Technique of Motor Racing, Fangio anticipates the importance Piero Taruffi's book would have for a generation of new drivers. Trained as both a racing driver and an industrial engineer, Taruffi provides a unique perspective on the art and science of motor racing. He drove for the works teams of Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Mercedes-Benz, and others, in a career that spanned over 25 years and was crowned by his victory in the 1957 Mille Miglia. First published in 1959, The Technique of Motor Racing has become the standard by which other driving texts are measured.

Reviews

"Many books have been written about motor racing...but this is the first book that I have seen that has been written for the drivers themselves-a text-book on motor racing ... A young driver's progress will be greatly assisted by taking his advice, and absorbing all he has to say."

Juan Manuel Fangio Five Time World Driving Champion 1951, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957
