Any recommendations on books directly related to high performance driving mid-engined based cars? Practice is the best, but that has to wait another 6 months or so. I'm familiar with more classic front-engine, higher horsepower, heavier cars. Looking for some good reading to help pass the time until the cars start to arrive....

Thanks!

Not specific to mid-engine cars but terrific books on high performance driving:
Secrets of Solo Racing by Henry Watts
Winning by George Anderson
Speed Secrets by Ross Bentley
Drive to Win by Carroll Smith

One from the biking world
Keith Code's A Twist of Wrist.

It's obviously about biking technique but the first half is about the mentality and thought process, it's worth the read.

My personal favorite is "Going Faster - Mastering the art of race driving" by Skip Barber. It goes into good detail on driving theory and basics of suspension setup.

Look Here

Yep, "Going Faster " would be my first choice too.
