This is an instructive handbook for would-be or existing competition drivers and the text covers all aspects of preparing yourself and your car for competition - personal physical and mental fitness, necessary equipment and clothing, choosing and setting up a car, managing yourself, self-promotion and sponsorship. As far as the actual driving itself is concerned, the book covers racing, rallying, sprinting and hill-climbing techniques - all in all the essential competition driving manual. Stuart Turner is Ford's European Competition Chief, and John Taylor is a former competition driver and is now Ford Motor Sports training consultant.
