Product DescriptionWith racing, as with almost any pursuit, being the best entails having a clear idea of what the best is--having a mental model that instructs and motivates and inspires. That's where Speed Secrets 6 comes in. Drawing on his extensive experience as a competitive driver and coach, author Ross Bentley helps the aspiring professional and the ambitious amateur develop the mental model that is essential for successful racing. His book reviews the techniques needed to drive fast, win races, and build a career as a professional race driver--and then, more importantly, schools readers in the process of turning this clear mental picture into racing perfection.

Taking your racing to the next step (Rating: 5 out of 5) The Speed Secrets series overall (there's one I wasn't so fond of) does a fantastic job of helping a new driver learn various techniques, then transitions into someone with a bit of racing experience. Speed Secrets 6 is an excellent resource for a person looking to take their game to the next level, whether that be someone who feels comfortable on track but is a mid-pack driver, to someone who is typically a front-running driver looking for more. Probably my favorite part of the book deals with learning a new track, or one that you don't have too much experience on. Novices are taught to really focus on learning lines, but this book provides fantastic insight for how a more experienced driver should approach this - and it's not about learning the new track's line as you might think. "Drive the car, not the track." I have a big event coming up at Mid Ohio Sports Car Complex and typically run at the pointy end of the field, but am confident this book will give me another edge.

Speed Secrects 6 (Rating: 4 out of 5) The book is easy to read and has a lot of real examples from various drivers. The book gives examples for an individual to practice and learn various techniques that will help a person with their driving skills and other aspects of life.
Speed Secrets Six: The Perfect Driver (Rating: 5 out of 5) As with the previous five Speed Secrets it is concise and insightful. I found tips that I applied next time in the car. A must for anyone serious about getting faster.
