Juan Manuel Fangio - Formula One Driver Information

1956 Fangio in Ferrari

The Technique of Motor Racing
In his prophetic foreword to "The Technique of Motor Racing," Fangio anticipates the importance Piero Taruffi's book would have for a generation of new drivers. Trained as both a racing driver and an industrial engineer, Taruffi provides a unique perspective on the art and science of motor racing. He drove for the work teams of Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Mercedes-Benz, and others, in a career that spanned over 25 years and was crowned by his victory in the 1957 Mille Miglia. First published in 1959, "The Technique of Motor Racing" has become the standard by which other driving texts are measured. Road & Track Magazine

"As a title, this famous work is now 40 years old; as a book, it's an all-new edition that should take most aspiring racing drivers and fast road drivers, right up to the 21st century."
