Racing Driver is a thrilling training course that shows children how to drive the world's fastest cars. Filled with stats and facts, the book includes basic mechanics and driving tips on track and off-road racing.

Young readers who dream of becoming racing drivers can pore over cars and voraciously compile information. The "Pit Stop" section looks at car engineering and the science of driving.
