Available from these sellers.

Book Description

Publication Date: January 7, 1994

The Modern Formula 1 Race Car Nigel Macknight. Subtitled: From Concept to Competition, Design and Development of the Lola BMS-Ferrari Grand Prix Car. In a gesture uncharacteristic for F1 constructors, Lola has thrown open the doors and allowed Macknight to follow the car from the planning stages in the drawing and computer rooms to the nuts and bolts of actual construction. Incredible technical insights into the process of F1 race car construction, behind-the-scenes activities rarely seen by (outsiders," and a real understanding of what happens to a $25 million budget when it comes to GP cars.
