There are a few books around on track days and how to drive on track; has any one got any advice about which are worth reading?

I'm more interested in driving techniques than car modification.

Thanks

I have this one and it's very informative, giving you corner by corner analysis of most of the UK's tracks.

This book is very good, and goes into quite a lot of the physics behind driving quickly if you're interested in such things:

Ignore the word "Porsche" in the title, and search out Vic Elford's "Porsche High Performance Driving Handbook".
