To succeed in any form of racing, a driver must be more than fast. In today's ultra-competitive motorsports scene, where there's competition for financial support as well as for checkered flags, a racer must have a full complement of on- and off-track skills. To become a champion, a driver must augment his or her racing, testing, and physical skills with traits and skills such as mental toughness, marketing savvy, and career-building abilities. Speed Secrets 5: The Complete Driver is the first handbook for the aspiring professional or ambitious amateur racer. It provides insights that will help aspiring racers reach their full potential in their quest to become well-rounded racers. This book is an ideal companion to the earlier, strong-selling Speed Secrets titles and will receive exposure and promotion through author Ross Bentley's Speed Secrets business (which includes driving schools and personalized instruction).

Worthwhile read especially for those with some racing experience:
Overall I thought this was a worthwhile read. While it reviewed several of the other topics discussed in the Speed Secrets series, I'd still recommend it. Dave Gran - Author of Go Ahead - Take the Wheel (a guide into motorsports).
Perfect guidance:
This book is good for beginners who interested in car racing. The writer makes complicated physics into easy understanding language and the illustrations is wonderful for learning. I have recommeded this book to some of my friends already.
