Default Books and Videos for driving technique

Anyone have any suggestions?

I've been reading around Amazon and the reviews there but wanted to get your all's take on it too.

Best driving book I have seen and I have read them all. This is basically the Skip Barber Racing School Textbook. It is written by Carl Lopez, who is an Instructor that has been with Skip the longest. I highly recommend this book for Beginners to Advanced. All techniques can be applied to any car or type of racing.

You can get it at http://www.amazon.com for around $20 (softcover) or you can get Autographed hardcover copies for around $40 at http://www.skipbarber.com

That should be the only book on driving. It covers everything for everyone at every skill level.

It might be one of the best books out there, but I'd definitely reccommend reading as much as you can get your hands on. There is always another way of looking at things, and there is certainly more than one one fast way around a track. What works for him might not work for you, and the more you read, the more you'll understand. I have Going Faster and Drive to Win, and I think they are both great books.
