Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. A must for the bookshelf of any car enthusiast. Per its jacket, "This practical manual has been written for the car-owner who is already a competent driver under normal road conditions but who would like to be a better-than-average driver, and especially for the man who wishes to try his hand at competition work -- both racing and rallying. Paul Frere -- Grand Prix driver and engineer, Le Mans winner and author -- gives invaluable instruction based on his many years of experience on the racing circuits of Europe and America." Only date on copyright page is "First published 1963" so this is the original edition, but it is a 1976 printing based on the publication date of the book advertised on its jacket back flap. This book is in near fine condition, marred only by traces of wear at top and bottom of the spine, plus very light bumps on the bottom corners. Its binding is sound and square.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. First Edition. This is Paul Frere's foundational manual on high-performance driving, blending race-proven technique with clear instructional theory. Frere, a Le Mans winner and respected automotive journalist, explains how a driver must understand both the physics of vehicle behavior and the practical realities of racing conditions. The book covers control on road and track, cornering lines, transitions between sliding and skidding, performance optimization, and adapting technique to rain, winter, and night driving. Frere emphasizes the relationship between driver input, tire forces, weight transfer, and the car's moment of inertia, illustrated through diagrams and photographs showing steering technique, cockpit posture, and real racing scenarios. The text also addresses team dynamics, racing-car characteristics, and the mindset of a competitive driver. The inclusion of banking-angle and tire-load calculations in the appendix reinforces the book's technical depth. Overall, the manual serves as a mid-century cornerstone of racing instruction, combining physics, practice, and professional insight into a coherent guide for aspiring competition drivers.
