Things to study - Books:

• How To Make Your Car Handle - Fred Puhn, ISBN 0-912656-46-8
  Car suspension principles and tuning - American and a bit dated, but an excellent read.
• Going Faster; Mastering the Art of Race Driving - Carl Lopez, ISBN 0-837-602279
  Car control and driving techniques for the thinking driver.
• Prepare to Win and other Carroll Smith books
  The definitive texts on race car preparation, engineering, design etc. So far I've read:
  Prepare To Win, ISBN 0-850-458048
  Tune To Win, ISBN 0-850-458080
  Engineer To Win, ISBN 0-879-381868
  Drive To Win, ISBN, 0-965-160009
  ..which just leaves me with Design To Win, (out yet?) and the
  Nuts, Bolts & Fasteners Handbook, ISBN  0-879-384069 to go
• The Soft Science of Road Racing Motorcycles - Keith Code, ISBN 0-965-04503X
  This book deals with how to get the most out of your riding by understanding
  how to apply your mind to the right thing at the right time. Much of what
  he says is relevant to car drivers too.
