Interesting, but not really a "how-to"
Each chapter is worth reading for the insights from the experts, but don't expect to learn how to read an FIA timecard, put together a shipping plan for an overseas event or work out which intercom is the best.
Rally Navigation "Advice"
The title says it all. This book is filled with "Advice" from the experts but there is hardly any information on actually navigating. I have read this book and heard a lot of nice stories but I am still more or less clueless on what to do. I am rating this book 2 starts because it lacks information on how to navigate.
Excellent resource, both broad in scope and deep in detail.
"Rally Navigation" provides a great deal of insight into several different aspects of rally racing. While the lion's share of the book focusses on what it takes to make it as a successful rally co-driver, Holmes also explores rally organization, logistics and coordination and each chapter is given over to someone who works on a different aspect of the rally world. Derek Ringer (World Champion 1995) has the final chapter and the Forward. If you are interested in any aspect of rally--especially co-driving, this book is a must have.
