Porsche High-Performance Driving Handbook

2nd. Edition 

 

personally dedicated and autographed by Vic Elford...

 

Foreword by DAVID HOBBS

 

"To drive a car well has to be learned from someone with a special talent of being able to impart that knowledge gained over the years. Vic Elford has that talent"  DEREK BELL

"There is no driver better qualified than Vic to write a book on how to drive a Porsche. The only driver to successfully switch from driving 911 rally cars on snow and ice, to racing 240mph Porsche 917s at Le Mans - in the rain, fog and night.   BRIAN REDMAN

 

"Its been more than a decade since the first Porsche High Performance Driving Handbook set the standard for getting the most out of a Porsche.

 

If driving techniques havent changed since then, technology definitely has.

 

This book, by the worlds foremost expert, takes that new technology into account as it gives readers the latest information on how to drive a Porsche to its limit.

 

Once upon a time, the Can Am and Trans Am race series changed their rules because Vic Elford and his Porsches were winning too often.

Here Quick Vic shares his insights into ride control systems, new tire compounds, and Tiptronic and Direct-Shift Gearbox transmissions, all of which have transformed the experience--and the challenge--of driving a Porsche.

 

As he discusses recent models, ranging from new generations of the 911 to the whole-cloth inventions of the Boxster, Cayenne, Cayman S and Carrera GT, modern images and historical photos immerse the reader in both the history and the evolving technology that Vic Elford knows like no one else.

The Author: VIC ELFORD

 Born in London, Vic Elford was one of the fastest drivers of the Sixties and Seventies... and a Porsche hero...

Nicknamed "Quick Vic" by his peers, legendary driver Vic Elford is arguably the most versatile all round driver of all time.

Consider Vic’s 1968 season. It began with his win in the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally followed by a win the next weekend in the Daytona 24 Hours. He was second at Sebring a month later, then in May scored an epic victory at the Targa Florio, which is considered the greatest win in Targa history. Two weeks later Vic won the Nürburgring 1000 Kilometers. Then in his first F1 race in July Vic took a badly out-classed Cooper T86B to a stunning fourth-place finish in the soaking-wet French Grand Prix.

Vic was EUROPEAN RALLY CHAMPION in 1967 then turned to SPORTSCAR RACING and F 1

Vic Elford was one of the world’s great SPORTS CAR drivers being one of only four drivers ever to record SIX MAJOR VICTORIES AT THE CLASSIC NURBURGRING (the other drivers being Rudolf Caracciolo in the 1920's, John Surtees and Stirling Moss)…. but he is also A TARGA FLORIO, SEBRING & DAYTONA WINNER to mention only a few!

Vic excelled in International rallies being the last British driver to win the Monte Carlo rally (1968) and the European Rally Championship.
His first drive in FORMULA 1 resulted in 4th place in the rain at the French GP driving the slowest car in the field!
Vic also competed with outstanding results in Can Am, TransAm, Off road events in Africa, even Nascar…

 In 1972, while driving for Alfa Romeo, Vic branched out into another extra-curricular activity - that of principal narrator for producer Michael Keyser's film "The Speed Merchants".

During the 24 hours of Le Mans, when a Ferrari crashed in front of him, Vic stopped in mid-race to extricate the driver from his burning car… T.V. cameras caught the action and Vic was named Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Mérite by French President Georges Pompidou for his act of courage and heroism.  

Shortly after, Vic retired from racing…
