For a beginner not to avail themselves of this book is unpardonable. More experienced drivers will also be making a mistake to avoid it. You may not agree with everything it says about racing, but it will make you think about your driving in competition.

No racer, or driver school participant should be without this book.

Years in the making, it may be the best book on race-driving technique to date. Lopez has seen every mistake that can possibly occur on a racetrack, and his book is designed to help you avoid them. "Going Faster" is not a substitute for the Skip Barber three-day racing class, but considering the fact that it's more than $2000 cheaper, it's the next best thing to being there.
