Vic Elford won the Monte Carlo Rally, the Targa Florio, the 24 Hours of Daytona, the 12 Hours of Sebring, and the Nuburgring 1000 km three times—all in Porsches.

Elford graduated from the Porsche factory race team to run the Porsche Owners Driving School for Porsche Cars North America. An engineer by education and a driver by profession, he is a renowned driving instructor with experience racing Formula 1, sports cars, rally cars, Can-Am, Trans-Am, and Nascar on road circuits, superspeedways, and off-road rallys.

Porsches have a reputation for being hard to drive. This is the first guide to explain the details of how to drive Porsches to their maximum potential.

Includes all Porsches from the rear-engined 356 to the 911, 930, and 959; front-engined 924, 944, 928, and 968; and mid-engined 914—and the 917!
