Race Cars is a picture book that serves as a springboard for parents and educators to discuss race, privilege, and oppression with their kids.

Describes the different types of racing, and the training, lifestyle, and risks involved in the race car driving profession.

Based on the principles of engineering science, physics and mathematics, but assuming only an elementary understanding of these, this textbook masterfully explains the theory and practice of the subject. Bringing together key topics, including the chassis frame, suspension, steering, tyres, brakes, transmission, lubrication and fuel systems, this is the first text to cover all the essential elements of race car design in one student-friendly textbook. It avoids the pitfalls of being either too theoretical and mathematical, or else resorting to approximations without explanation of the underlying theory. Where relevant, emphasis is placed on the important role that computer tools play in the modern design process. This book is intended for motorsport engineering students and is the best possible resource for those involved in Formula Student/FSAE. It is also a valuable guide for practising car designers and constructors, and enthusiasts.

The history of auto racing and the tools and techniques used by drivers is body presented here. It features three graphic novel stories that detail the lives of three race car drivers: Juan Manuel Fangio, Dale Earnhardt, Sr., and Lewis Hamilton.

This invaluable handbook on the structural design and science behind the race car chassis includes sections on materials and structures, structural loads, a brief overview of suspension and chassis design, multi-tube and space frame chassis, joining ferrous metals, stressed skin construction, and joining light alloys.
