Paul Frere Le Mans winner, Grand Prix driver, and Road & Track magazine's European editor, has prepared a new edition of his classic, Sports Car and Competition Driving. First published in 1963, Sports Car and Competition Driving sold tens of thousands of copies, establishing it as a standard reference on driving. In his revised edition, Frere builds on the strengths of the original by explaining how to meet the new challenges posed by radical new developments in automotive technology. What separates Frere's book from other driving texts is his unique blend of theory and practice, based on a career as racer and trained engineer: Memorable observations on how to go faster combined with sophisticated discussions of the physics that govern a car. With 78 photographs and illustrations, Sports Car and Competition Driving is required reading for all those interested in racing or in becoming a more masterful road driver.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. A must for the bookshelf of any car enthusiast. Per its jacket, "This practical manual has been written for the car-owner who is already a competent driver under normal road conditions but who would like to be a better-than-average driver, and especially for the man who wishes to try his hand at competition work -- both racing and rallying. Paul Frere -- Grand Prix driver and engineer, Le Mans winner and author -- gives invaluable instruction based on his many years of experience on the racing circuits of Europe and America." Only date on copyright page is "First published 1963" so this is the original edition, but it is a 1976 printing based on the publication date of the book advertised on its jacket back flap. This book is in near fine condition, marred only by traces of wear at top and bottom of the spine, plus very light bumps on the bottom corners. Its binding is sound and square. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn, with bright gilt titles. Pages are unmarked and unworn. Not a remainder. Its jacket is in very good+ condition: whole, bright and unmarked, with light wear at top and bottom of spine and on corners. As with all Space Age Book purchases, I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its proud new owner in the same condition as my description.
