Track Day Driver's Guide: How to Prepare Your Car and Yourself for the Thrills of High-speed Circuit Driving

Speed cameras and traffic calming devices have forced drivers of high performance cars off the road and on to purpose-built test tracks. This book explains how to get the best out of track days through skilled driving and careful car preparation. Whether the driver is a track day virgin or a veteran, and whether he or she drives a standard road car or one fully prepared to competition specification, they should find there is much to be learned within these pages. This includes how to prepare the car - and oneself - for the first track day; how to optimise the seating position; how to choose and use safety equipment; what can be done to improve the performance of the car; track day etiquette; and much more besides.
