Josh,
Looks like an excellent find - thank you!

Is that what it was? A symphonium? It reminded me too much of my degree, so I had to stop reading...
Of course it's all a nonsense now Lynd has told us that - "There isn't a precise instant underlying an object's motion. And as its position is constantly changing over time -- and as such, never determined -- it also doesn't have a determined position at any time."
Which, come to think of it, sounds remarkably like something I said last time I was smoking the 'long handrolled cigarettes'
Anyway, enough of the dichotomies back to the cars...

I asked ages ago about books. Someone gave me a link - and I chose the Skip Barber Going Faster! book.
It was &163;25 quid... but its a very good read.
Whilst I can't comment on it from a racers perspective (yet ;o) ) - its very well written and I'd highly recommend it to anyone - especially budding racers... whilst I understood some of the techniques and theorys before - the book ellaborates and explains them all in plain English.
Everything from driving line, heel toe to the physics and racing etiquette is covered...
Though I should warn everyone - it gives you even more of an urge to race!

Racing etiquette??????
Is this when Andy and John reach a corner and Andy says "after you John" who replies "oh no after you Andy" so they both go for the same piece of track at the same time?
Mmmm
