Speed Secrets 6

With 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.

The author of five previous Speed Secrets books, Vancouver, Canada’s Ross Bentley is a former Indy Car driver and winner of the U.S. Road Racing Championship. Today, he is a professional driving coach who works with drivers at every level of racing, from karting to the IRL. Although he no longer races regularly, Bentley still drives competitively. In 2003 his team won the SRP2 class at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, and in 2005 he teamed with three 16-year-old phenoms to contest the GT Class at Daytona in a Racer’s Group Porsche.
