Carroll Smith

Carroll Smith has been racing, as a driver, an engineer and as a team manager, since 1955. He turned professional in 1960 and his cars, driven by men such as Amon,
Andretti, Foyt, Gurney, Hulme and Ickx, have won races in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan in events as diverse as Le Mans and SCCA regionals.
He began writing this trilogy in the early 1970s and the first volume, Prepare To Win, which covers the nuts and bolts of race car preparation, was first published in 1975. This was followed in 1978 by Tune To Win which covers development and tuning. Finally, in 1984 he published Engineer To Win, an essential guide to materials and technology. Each book has been regularly revised to reflect the state of the art.
