The first book to summarize the secrets of the rapidly developing field of high-speed vehicle design. From F1 to Indy Car, Drag and Sedan racing, this book provides clear explanations for engineers who want to improve their design skills and enthusiasts who simply want to understand how their favorite race cars go fast. Explains how aerodynamics win races, why downforce is more important than streamlining and drag reduction, designing wings and venturis, plus wind tunnel designs and more.

Summarizes fundamentals of high-speed vehicle design, providing explanations for engineers and racing enthusiasts. Chapters on aerodynamic forces and terms, performance testing, airfoils and wings, and aerodynamics of the complete vehicle offer explanations, relevant equations, numerous b&w photos and diagrams, and examples of historically importan
