Racing Cars: Masterpieces of engineering
Saturday, October 7th, 2000
An Amazon customer wrote of this book:
It contains information on almost every kind of major motorsport in the world and also has information on some of the lower formulas.
John Tipler also brings his experience of racing an Alfa Romeo GTV6 in the AROC series to provide a detailed description of how racing cars have evolved over the years.
But arguably the books best feature are the amazingly detailed cut-away diagrams of many of the most important racing cars.
If that wasn’t enough the book also contains lists of all the winners of the major motorsport races and championships.
This book is a must for any motorsport fan.
