"Racers are often called selfish and egoistical. I myself have called race car drivers selfish; I was wrong. To be a champion, you must have no ego at all. You must not exist as a separate entity.

I read, from the first word to the last, a slow start as usual, as I approach the end, I probably did not stop reading for the last 50 pages or more, going on, so exciting, going on, so interesting, and hoping the story will never end, yeah that's how I do it. I guess this time, I got so very sucked in the story when Garth Stein described the speed and feeling of that Ferrari, the one I saw before at Freddie Ang's, probably the exact same model, this beauty, this Ferrari,
"There is no dishonor in losing the race,
there is only dishonor in not racing because you are afraid to lose."
