Due to our difficult to gain real life racing experience sometimes many simracers have from little to none knowledge about what is needed to improve their own performance on track. Study and reading it is not a foolish thing in any case, and racing and simracing are not exceptions.
There are outstanding books out there, but if you don’t have a guide where to start, I have some recommendations for you. Let’s take a look.
Krumm covers every aspect of performance driving, from weight transfer to setup, and does it in a way that’s clear and easy to understand. Even better, he backs up his instruction with specific examples, citing moments in Formula 1 races that illustrate his teaching points. This allows the reader to see in video what he’s talking about in the book.
He also covers techniques I hadn’t heard of before. One example is how to induce understeer to help deal with a car with severe oversteer. After explaining the technique, he cites a race where Fernando Alonso used that very technique to keep his car under control in a particular corner.
This book has gone to the top of my racecar instruction library, and it’s hard to think anything else will top it. I wish it was available on Kindle so I could have it as a pocket reference; that’s how good it is. If you’re trying to learn how to drive a race car better, this book is a must-buy.
