Default Car racing books - instruction or experiences

Hey,
just like most everyone else here I am in love with car racing, mostly touring cars. I would like to start racing myself, however it is quite an expensive hobby and right now I don't have the funds but I will eventually. Now I am looking for interesting and good written books about the topic, something that I can read during flights (way to much flying in my life right now) and through which I can advance my knowledge about racing, its techniques as well some other background. So any ideas?

I am particular interested in touring car racing like the nürburgring 24h, club races and things like that.

Any help is appreciated

Start with Carroll Smith's book "Drive to Win" and work from there. But you'll want to re-read it a few times to absorb everything.
