Book Review: High Performance Driving By Tom Wisdom
Posted: Tue Jan 26, 2016 9:11 pm
Hi, guys not sure if any of you have read this book, but I'm really enjoying reading it, it shows how the HPC high performance course came into affect.
The Candidates trained in the Aston Martin DB4, before the Maximum speed was introduced, at speeds of over 140mph on the road, with no seat belts required, although at that time DB4 had them installed, lol. Crazy
It's all based on Advanced Road Driving.
The book was published in 1966, & Tom Wisdom, was one of this country's better-known names in motor racing, rallying and journalism.
He had competed with success in such races as the Portuguese Grand Prix, Monaco Grand Prix, Le Mans 24-hour Race, and won the Grand Turismo
Class three times in the Mille Miglia.
He had competed in the Monte Carlo Rally 23 consecutive times and has broken World Records with Capt. George Eyston and the late John Cobb.
It was one of those books I couldn't put down.
