The Best Way To Race a Car

The best way to win a race,
Is to race as fast as you can.
To know the better lines to drive,
And be the better man.

To swerve right on key moments,
Then to speed up when it's right,
To know when to battle for position,
And to know when not to fight.

And to repeat these moves, this line and grit,
Every lap of the entire race.
To be the consistent driver,
And never lose your pace.

The best way to race a race,
To have the right to brag,
Is to give every stage the best you've got,
Then you'll get the chequered flag.
