I've been doing a mix of HDPE, instructing, karting and iRacing (sim racing) for a while now and have read a number of books on the subject. This is the first in a series of 3 books and I have to say is really excellent in cutting through some of the black magic and getting right to the heart of what is needed to optimize the line through a corner. Very little fat, just the way I like it. Highly recommended.
Awesome read with Zero fluff! A logical approach to finding the fastest way around a track without the meaningless overly used rhetoric.
I landed on the Amazon page for this book from one of the suggested items that was below another book I was looking at (can't remember which one) and the reviews were very compelling so I decided to take a chance since it was relatively inexpensive.
I really enjoyed the book and felt like I got a lot out of it. On a recent track day at Roebling Road Raceway I was able to use the techniques in this book (and book 3 that deals with more complex corners like double apexes) to shave some time off in turns 4 and 5. Coincidentally? I also attended a Ron Zitza track walk that same weekend and, in two corners especially the line he recommended for more advanced drivers (the "Hurley" line through 4) was a match to the guidance in this book and in book 3. In turn 5 the guidance (from both the book and the track walk) had me driving a decreasing radius as I went through the turn, setting it up so that I could go full throttle by the apex. A lot of folks make a short straight through 5a/5b at this track and then late brake/rotate the car to power out, and I used to be one of them. Comparing my fastest laps using that approach with my fastest laps using the guidance from the book, I am .43 seconds faster in that corner following the approach in the book, and the corner felt much better as well.
So far applying the principles in this book and book 3 (Perfect Corner 2) have been working out for me and I will continue to apply the ideas and guidance and see where it takes me.
The math-oriented driver will get a lot out of this, making it obvious why some commonly-held nuggets of wisdom are right and others are wrong.
