Andrew constrasted it to Bondurant, quite frankly i think Johnson's book is
better and more important in many regards. Johnson introduced the Type
I/II/II turn analysis which is now taught at most reputable driving
schools. most of the book is still very relevant, although the discussion
of safety gear does date it a bit.

well worth having in any good library about racing and driving technique.
