Ayrton Senna, widely hailed as one of the greatest racing drivers of all time, in this book reveals the secrets that brought him three World Championships, and provides a unique insight into the skills and mental approach of the fastest Grand Prix driver of his generation. Whether you are a race goer or spectator, an enthusiastic driver or plan to compete yourself, you will find the detailed text, clear diagrams and many illustrations fascinating and informative. The following words from the foreword will present Senna’s vision for this publication: “When I received the invitation to write this book, I immediately accepted the challenge, though I knew of the difficulties I would have in putting down on paper all I had learned in seven years of karting and almost 13 of motor racing. Writing has never been my forte. I prefer reading what other people write, especially when the subject is linked to my sport. But I thought that with the help of a specialist journalist I would manage to get the message across to all those who love driving at a more advanced level. “Another reason for my involvement in this project is the lack, in bookshops all over the world, of valid textbooks on the technique of driving on track. Books which could be of real help to beginners are rare indeed. Specialist journalists prefer to write about what goes on behind the scenes at the Grands Prix and about the drivers' personal lives. “As you will see, the publishers and myself have aimed for a technical book, with good illustrations, with the objective of giving good advice and guiding all those who are hoping to enter the world of motor racing. “In this book you will learn many of my racecraft secrets: how to overtake, how to drift and skid in a controlled manner on fast bends, how to concentrate at the start of a race, how to set up the suspension and save your tyres, what I do to win pole position, and how to get fit for racing. But let's not waste any more time. After this brief introductory lap, here's the green light for you to start reading. You will experience for the first time the sensation of being in a Formula 1 car at 300 kilometres an hour. I hope you won't have any accidents before coming to the end of this book, my first literary Grand Prix.”
