About this product

Product Information

Anyone interested in Formula One has endless sources of information, including specialist publications, books, television programs, and the daily press. However, none of these gives much idea about how modern Formula One cars really work. These sources touch on various technical details, but the overall picture remains a mystery. As a result, some of the most interesting aspects of Formula One are lost to all but the initiates who actually work in the paddock. This book is likely to change all that. It is the first systematic explanation of the technical side of modern Grand Prix racing. As such, it will be essential reading for any serious follower of Formula One and of immense help to aspiring drivers and engineers in other forms of racing. CONTENTS INCLUDE: The Racing Objective; Evolve or Die; The Chassis and Its Dynamics; Engines; Transmissions; Tires; Aerodynamics; Suspension; Brakes; Measurement, Control, and Data Systems; Simulation and Design Tools; Test Rigs; Banned Technologies; Safety; Track Testing and Racing; The British Motorsport Industry; Formula 1 Now and in the Future; The Technical Regulations and Policing Them; Four Appendices; and References.
