Overview

Overtaking is one of motor racing's most thrilling sights, but a clean pass is never just a flash of bravery. It is the result of timing, geometry, grip, machinery, strategy, and judgement working together at speed. The Art of Overtaking: Bravery, Geometry, Grip, and Timing in Racing is a fact-based, narrative study of how passes are made, defended, lost, judged, and remembered across the world of motorsport. From braking zones and slipstreams to dirty air, wet-weather grip, street circuits, ovals, endurance traffic, rally stages, motorcycle racing, karting, stewarding, data, and modern overtaking aids, this book explains the craft behind the moments that change races. Written in a clear, flowing style for motorsport fans, racing students, and curious readers alike, it shows why overtaking is never only about speed. The finest passes are built from patience, preparation, precision, and respect. Whether the move happens into a hairpin, around the outside, through a drafting pack, across a pit cycle, or on a timing screen, the art remains the same: finding the moment when risk becomes control and position can be taken cleanly.
