Race to Win: How to become a Complete Champion Driver really does deliver on this grand statement by offering an informative yet easy to approach book on how to be the best motorsport racer you can be."" - Classic Car Weekly ""The concept of The Champion's Pyramid, well articulated in this book, is universal. The six ""ingredients necessary to success"" are as necessary for a Politician, CEO, Manager, Musician, Salesman etc., or athlete in any sport."" -Bruce Herrington, Unsere Gedanken ""It's not often one comes across a book that is as clearly destined to become a future classic, as Derek Daly's Race to Win. What sets Daly's book apart is its sheer honesty. He brutally analyses his own and other drivers' failings and sets out what he calls his ""Champion's Pyramid"" - the essential ingredients a driver must develop to win."" - Bob Montgomery, Irish Times

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Derek Daly currently resides in the metro Indianapolis area with his wife, Rhonda, and their three children.
