If you think you've read it all, BUY THIS BOOK!!
This book is wonderful, I have just about all the driving books available today and was unsure about buying this one... I am very happy that I did, it was and is very worth the money.Bentley, who does still race, is easy to read and talks in terms of real world driving, on the street. Yes, he covers a lot about on the race track and the finer points, but her relates that to the street and the "practice" of feeling the car and understanding what is happening at all times in order to become a better driver... and it actually works, I have started to become more aware of the fine movements of weight distribution in my commute to work!If you think you have too many books on driving, splurge a little and buy this one, I think you'll be happy you did!

Speed Secrets review
I've done AutoX and road racing for some years and recently started as an instructor for racing drivers license courses. I have bought and read about ten books on motor racing technique. This one, written by Ross Bentley, was one of the best. Where Skip Barbers (although excellent) book is very theoretic and quite technical in it's approach, with diagrams and figures, Ross Bentley writes modestly and concisely about the "softer" sides of racing, for example about mental training, feeling the car and how drivers psychology works. Many of the secrets are blatantly obvious when you see them in print and read his motivations, but to race successfully you need to remind yourself all the time. This book is perfect for that. The suggestions on how to hone your race driving skills in your everyday street car (without ever violating traffic laws i must add) is worth the price of the book alone. If you must buy only two books on racing, combine Ross Betleys Speed Secrets with Barbers book and you get most of the picture. Highly recommended!

GREAT info for begginer!
after reading 10 pages, i became more knowledgable driver... after another 10, i gained more respect and understanding how hard it is to become of the few, after 10 more, i believed that I can give it a shot... maybe not to professional driving but rather taking my car thru turns beating better cars with not so good drivers behind the wheel. Book simple great, it is VERY clear and gives tons of useful info. must own for people who r into auto-x
