Anybody else have "The Art of Racing in the Rain" forced upon them? Holy crap, that Garth Stein guy makes Dan Brown seem like Fyodor Dosto-fricking-evsky.
But I recently picked up a book on racing that really speaks to me:
"Lone Racer" by Nicolas Mahler
A sample:
Seriously, this is like "Le Mans" to that other book's "Days of Thunder". A must...

If you enjoy it less than $4 worth, I'll make up the difference

Re: Novel about racing that doesn't suck...
Very short story..love the graphics..in the end,at least the Lone Racer has a new shiny beer mug!..(my favorite part was the "bank heist") May I suggest "Ultimate Speed Secrets" by Ross Bentley..more of a "how to" than a novel..but it is an excellent read!
