[Alberto · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book both for the historical perspective of being a race car driver in the late 60's and 70's as well as the technical explanations of the physics and mechanics of performance driving. The photos and personal stories throughout the book were great and really gave me a glimpse into an era in motorsports before my time. A quick and thoroughly enjoyable read.

His small anecdotes are absolutely endearing. The rest can be tossed out. I'd pay the same for just the story parts.
