Unmissable,

This review is from: Competition Car Downforce: A Practical Handbook (Hardcover)
McBeath is both clear and precise on all the matters covered in this book making it useful for newcomers and seasoned engineers alike and manages to cover material useful to pretty much any discipline of motorsport.
For planning out the aerodynamic design on a competition car it is unmissable. Don't try modifying your car without reading it first!

Downforce and Aerodynamic Analysis Done Well,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Competition Car Downforce: A Practical Handbook (Hardcover)
I have now read 3 books on aerodynamics and their application to motorsports. Simon McBeath has done an expectional job of presenting the information in a logical sequence at a level that both the beginner and experienced can benefit from. His style of writing keeps the topics interesting providing not only the technical data needed, but applying it to real world situatuins with valuable photos of high quality.I found myself more inclined to read this book cover to cover than some novels I have read. A truly excellent book that was better than I had expected it to be. Very well done.
