About the Author
Born and raised in England, Vic Elford was one of the drivers who put Porsche on the racing map. He was the first to win the Monte Carlo rally in a Porsche, then, a week later, won the 24-Hour sports car race at Daytona. He raced Porsche 910s and 917s in both the Can Am and Trans Am series (they changed the rules in both series because he and his Porsches won too often), plus a slew of other marques in Formula 1, Indy and even stock car racing. He's still winning vintage car races today. If anyone understands how to apply high-performance driving skills to Porsches, it's Quick Vic. Elford resides in Plantation, Florida.
Review
"This is a must read for any Porsche owner interested in either motor racing history and/or the finer points of high performance driving." - Jon Jones, Cimarron Trail PCA Newsletter
"There is a wealth of information between these covers both historic and technical and I'd bet the novice as well as the seasoned veteran would thoroughly enjoy Elford's slant on it all. It gets four stars from me." - Mark Stubbs, Shenandoah PCA Newsletter
"This is a great book for any Porsche driver not just those adrenaline crazed few that want to go fast around a track. After reading this, I have got to get me some of that." - Richard Davis, War Whoop (Official publication of the War Bonnet Region of the PCA)
