Are there any books about driving techniques that you would recommend?

I like how, as the back slides out, he panics and turns the wheel like two rotations counter instead of a little

He probably would've been safer to just slam the brakes and do nothing at that point. Better to hit the side of the hill than risk going off of it and totalling fucking everything, etc.

But instead he panicked like a little girl and counter-steered way too fucking much.

Back on topic here, any other book recommendations on driving technique so one doesn't end up like ?

Separate meets*

Seat time. On a track or empty parking lot or anywhere you can safely spin out. Dirt driving would help a lot.
You have to feel and pass the edge multiple times before you can learn to control it when it happens,
You have to blow through a braking zone before you know where the limit is as an analogy.

The more you do it the more you feel it. Most of it is preemptive before something even starts to happen. I'll precounter steer or unshift weight before a crest or something, or preload instinctively without even thinking about it. It becomes second nature. You should be driving ahead of the car just like you look at where you want to go not where you're going.

A book can teach you lines, race craft, maximizing lap times, why you should left foot brake, etc but not control. u have to go do that in a safe environment. this is why canyontards will never be fast.

again dirt driving is a really good source. dirt driving is all ahead of the car and everything happens slower and exaggerated.
I've never read any books, but i have 20 years of track time at this point. i'm sure they are all similar so pick any of them.

i mean a book can tell you WHY you dont let off the throttle when you oversteer, but it cant stop you from panicking or tell you what it feels like.

This user is right, seat time is king. Find a place with open area and use cones etc to simulate a turn. You'll be able to 'blow' that corner without the consequences of a solid object or something. You already know a lotof the techniques because you've named them.

Past that, hit your local SCCA or NASA sanctioned AutoX event, then look for things like NASA's HPDE programs, it has tiers you advance through and the highest one opens you for a baseline competitive class (time trails) where you can work towards a competitive license.

And there's nothing wrong with learning to master your local go-kart track if that's all your budget will allow.

technically if you got lucky doing this shit in the canyons without crashing it would be the same

dagumi never drove on a fucking track

Yeah and this is why these kind of subjects aren't popular on Veeky Forums: because it actually involves getting gud instead of posturing.

You have Gran Turismo's books that were released with the limited edition of GT5 and GT6 that are great IMHO.
GT5 is "APEX : ultimate car guide"
GT6 is "beyond the apex"

If anyone know where to find pdf for them i'm interersted.

Wow, didn't know Gran Turismo actually published books.
