A Must Read for Performance Minded Drivers

Very few top level athletes have the ability to explain how they do what they do - Ross Bentley has this ability! As well as being a successful racer himself, Bentley eloquently shares his knowledge and experiences - a rare trait amongst top level racing drivers!

Unlike other books that focus on track techniques only, Bentley offers up knowledge that will also help you safely get more out of your everyday street driving. Being a racer myself, I appreciate that Speed Secrets addresses performance driving as a "whole" including mental and physical aspects and not just track tactics.

It's always great when successful athletes share their knowledge and expertise and Ross Bentley does that in a way that makes you want to read the whole book in one sitting and pick it up again and again! An invaluable reference tool!!

"Must Have"

I have read most books on driving and racing techniques, this one makes it easy to understand and to apply to everyday situations. I like the way that Bentley divided the book into the four parts (the car, the track, the driver and the finish line) it is an easy read. There are lots of good diagrams to help get the point across. If you are a driving enthusiast or racer, and you only want to buy one book, this is the one you must have.

Highly recommended for sim racers

I'm not racer, but recently I started driving PC racing simulator "Grand Prix Legends" . To drive this sim you need a lot of driving/racing skills that I didn't have and I wasn't sure what those skills are. I went to local bookstore and there I found Ross's book. I finished book in 2 days. So simple and up to the point. At the end of the book Ross put 34 so called "speed secrets". Things like: "Look where you want to be, not where you are or where you don't want to be." "Look and think as far as possible." "Drive subconsciously, don't try." All these secrets are very thoroughly and clearly explained in a book. Very useful as reference and remainder of what you learn. By the way, I made my "Personal Best" on 3 tracks after I finished book.

Thank you Ross.

Concise, clear steps for increasing speed

I just completed my first race weekend with Skip Barber and found the tips in this book to be very helpful in staying focused on the important stuff. The suggestions correlate well with the Skip Barber instruction and is easy and FAST to read. It definately helped improve lap times.

Excellent for PC SIM racing

Like one of the other reviewers I recently starting getting seriously into a PC racing SIM, in my case NASCAR 3. I immediately felt that I needed to know much more about driving a real race car and this book did just the trick. Everything he discusses can be applied to driving a good racing SIM like N3 (not an Arcade style game). I recommend it highly for SIM drivers.
