Aerodynamics is a science in itself, and is one of the most important factors in modern competition car design. This new book, a successor to "Competition Car Downforce", covers all aspects of aerodynamics, including both downforce and drag. This complex subject is explained in down-to-earth terms, with the aid of numerous illustrations, including color CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) diagrams to demonstrate how aerodynamic devices work. Aimed primarily at amateur and semi-professional designers and drivers, as well as students, this fascinating book will also appeal to armchair enthusiasts wishing to gain a better understanding of the subject.


Customer Review: Excellent overview and introduction

Jack Olsen and João Carlos Matoso are both correct: this book has some excellent information aimed at the person who does not have any specialized knowledge of aerodynamics. I'm a track car driver and aeronautical engineer, and I found the book to be a little too simplified for my background. But I've recommended it to a lot of non-aerodynamicists as an introductory work, and they have all loved it.

If you are a racing fan who wants to understand the aero packages, or if you are a racer or track driver who wants to know which aero options will be appropriate for your needs, this is a great place to start educating yourself. Even if you are an airplane engineer (like me), this does give you some insight into the differences between car and airplane aerodynamics. But if you are looking for a technical discussion on boundary layer models and doing CFD gridding, this isn't the book you are looking for.

Customer Review: Competition Car Aerodynamics

I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THIS BOOK! SHOULD I CANCEL IT?

I wanted to give a zero rating but was not allowed to do this.
