The Driver by Alexander Roy.

Some seriously intense stuff. Also my first ever kindle book :)

Some info:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Roy

Roy distinguished himself on the Gumball 3000 and Bullrun rallies with a modified BMW M5, and later a Bentley Continental GT comically decorated as Canadian, German, Spanish, Swedish, Italian and Bahamanian police cars (complete with lights, sirens, and an inflatable sex doll) for Team Polizei 144.[1] He won the Gumball's 2003 Spirit trophy for his car, eccentric costumes, and mock French or German interview replies.[1] In 2004, he and his co-driver wore costumes based on the Disney science fiction film Tron, winning the Style trophy.[1]

Roy meticulously prepares for rallies with the goal of avoiding police stops,[1] using maps, GPS navigation, and spreadsheets. During the 2004 rally, he would use the police-car disguise to startle other drivers into pulling over, where he would then videotape their reactions
