"Tooth driving in its present form is a tender maiden, not yet twenty years old." It is therefore one of the youngest sports. And this short time has clearly brought a string of Hungarian successes. That is why "for us Hungarians, the sport of tooth driving is almost a national cause... In Szilvásvárad... our world hegemony was so overwhelming that it is almost inappropriate to talk about it in a casual way. But when we mention this, the question arises: what is the reason for this, what explanation do the competent experts, the people who run the sport, the leaders, give? In this book we will try to find the answer to this question, indirectly. First, we will review the history of carriage driving, with the main emphasis on Hungarian carriage driving. In the second part, we will give brief, flash portraits of those whose achievements have raised the Hungarian sport of carriage driving to the status it enjoys today," the authors write about their book.
