CrumbMC Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I was looking back through a book named 'Driving on the edge' when i remembered about this quote. I think that it perfectly describes what makes driving so enjoyable. I hope you enjoy it; "...At this point, you find yourself in a world without conscious thought, which is called the "zone". You don't think about any movement that you make in the car. Everything is focus, intention and, let's not forget, pure joy. Being without conscious thought is a joyful state, so driving a race car can be pure joy. People who meditate often try to reach such a thought-free state. As a racing driver, you can reach that state every time you go out. This has to be your goal. At that moment, you become at one with the car, an integral component. At every corner that you take in testing or racing, you have the opportunity of getting closer to that goal. Past and future do not matter once you are in the zone; only the present exists. Even though most racing drivers are not aware of this, enjoying that moment is what makes racing so addictive. Many great drivers have said that they only really felt alive when they were at the wheel of a racing car." Michael Krumm - Driving on the edge ... or maybe i'm just a bit of a nerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
