The Technique of Motor Racing by Pierro Taruffi

Published 1959. ~8" x 11", ~140 pages. Hard Cover with (Damaged) Dust Jacket.

A classic of motor racing literature, The Technique of Motor Racing distills Piero Taruffi’s deep technical knowledge into a clear, methodical guide to how racing cars are driven at speed. Drawing on his experience as both an engineer and a champion driver, Taruffi breaks down cornering, braking, vehicle balance, and racecraft with precision and restraint. It’s less about spectacle and more about understanding the mechanics and discipline behind great driving.
