The Stigs new book

[TCJBOLDIE]

I have just ordered "HOW TO DRIVE " by Ben Collins and am looking forward to learning new things to hopefully reduce my track times and keep in on the black stuff.

This old dog is open to learning new tricks.

This will have to be another suggestion to people for my Xmas stocking

I missed this one so thanks for flagging it up. I have a lot of respect for Ben, he seems to have the ability to jump in any car and form an instant infinity with it!

I cant read, so do they do an audio book version, read by Stephen Fry ???

That's something i would listen to, Might have to order the book too

Have read thru it twice and can highly recommend it as I picked up a few tips to try next track day.

I have Gerry Marshall's guide to Competition Driving and was lucky to have tuition from the great man many years ago.

Lucky bugger! Mind, you, how many members here have even heard of him?

Lucky bugger! Mind, you, how many members here have even heard of him?

Not many, he's of a certain age group, can't believe I am saying that!

Without question I would say he was the most prolific saloon car driver of all time with some 624 wins. I would strongly suggest those that have never heard of him get on youtube and watch a few races, Baby Berta, Big Bertha and Old Nail. For a bloke weighing in at around 19st he was something else.

I remember doing Castle Combe with him next to me in my Blydenstein Magnum scaring him to death going into quarry, he quickly said don't forget there's 19st sitting here, slow down!
