A great resource for the racing gamer

I bought this not because I intend racing real cars, but because I race virtual cars on an Xbox 360 in Forza and PGR3.

It has been a GREAT help, my lap times have markedly improved, and more importantly, my enjoyment of "driving" has been very much enhanced.

A great book indeed, even for simracers

Very detailed, interesting and easy to read, with lot of images to explain each concept clearly. Tons of useful information. A great book indeed.

I bought this book after reading about it at RaceSimCentral forums. I'm a simracing driver (despite I'll have real racing experience soon hopefully) but this book is a must for real racers, simracers or racing fans!

Just go for it! :)

Excellent and comprehensive book

I bought this book to help me get better laps times in GTR 2. GTR 2 is such a realistic simulation that arcade driving techniques just don't work. This book is absolutely amazing. It covers every possible detail---maintaining traction in corners, braking and cornering strategies and techniques, spin prevention and recovery, etc. By applying the lessons in this book, I have greatly improved lap times in GTR 2, and I also have a greater understanding of the physics and planning involved in modern racing.

The level of detail in this book is astounding. No details are left out. In the chapter covering shifting, they explain in detail why you should blip the throttle when downshifting, including the effect that blipping the throttle has on the engine, transmission, and grip at the rear wheels. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is even remotely interested in automobile racing.
