    Hello guys,

    I would like to ask you something. My cousin likes go-kart driving a lot. He also owns a 2017 Ford Focus RS and he visits race tracks around Europe. He has his birthday this week so, i'm thinking to give him a book about fast/racing driving as a gift.

    Do you have to suggest me a really good book about track days, racing driving etc?
    I'm thinking one of these but i don't know which. I personally do track days, racing in VLNs but i don't think that i am the appropriate person to tell him how to drive, so i think a really good book will make the difference.

    Thank you in advance.

    :)

    I think the first book would be a good start, I'd recommend your cousin combine it with Ross' podcast "Speed Secrets Podcast". It has weekly episodes with professional drivers and industry folk. I especially like the episodes where Ross speaks with doctors and health experts and the real life data they bring.

    Another podcast I like is dinner with racers and frankly have to catch up with both.

    Here's a link to the podcast; https://open.spotify.com/show/4U59gK2l4Milfa9uF9mDnC?si=vosodNIqQSieu4wLfhxxHA

    Thank you. I didn't know about the podcast. Sounds really interesting. About the books i am between the first and third. I believe that all of the three books above describes the same (almost) subject.
    Thank you for the answer.

    That's my favorite, Ed.

    Here's a great companion video for Going Faster! Mastering The Art Of Race Driving by Carl Lopez...
