Chapter 7: General Advice, Preparation, and Tactics

"Let me start off by saying that the best way of breaking into racing is to
begin right at the beginning - with something quite gentle and slow, like a
600 Fiat or perhaps an Austin Healey Sprite in standard tune...

"How long you will remain in the novice stage will depend on you; but if you
are a real beginner, kick off with the car in which you feel most at home... "
