Customer comments on this selection.
 Good compilation of formulas, theory and practical examples
An excellent review of race car aero. It is one of the few books that accurately discusses current trends. Answers a lot of "How does that work" type questions regarding undertrays, splitters, spoilers, wings and vortex generating devices. With the Milliken and Milliken book, Gillespie's vehicle dynamics manual and this book, a competition car engineer has all of the tools necessary for design and analysis.
Very nice book!
Very nice book!
Many diagrams and pictures, very interesting for a reader..
 Excellent compilation of Basics on Aeordynamics
As a reader without a formal engineering background, I found this book to be a good primer in aerodynamics. Although challenging, the theory is accessible and the mathematics practical. I have found no other material that serves as well as an introduction to the theory and practice of race car aero concepts.
From Basics to advanced aerodynamics concepts
This is a very well written and designed book on cars aerodynamics. It starts from the Bernoulli law, passing through the definition of drag, lift, coefficient of pressure,...(always recalling to the objective of the book: understanding cars aerodynamics), ending with lot of examples on real-world race cars. There's no need to start reading this book with an advanced knowledge in engineering, because in here you can find all the recalls or new knowledge that you need in the subsequent chapters: so I recommend it for all kind of knowledge that you have. Lot of graphs, formulas, and very well described examples. So: not only theory but lot of practical examples and observations. Very good book!
Great starter book
The book explains very well, all the details one would need to understand the aerodynamics of a race car.
buy it!
