Customer Review: Great read, easy read but a little out dated
This is probably the best book I have read about the general problems with engineering a race car. I gave the book 5 stars but actualy it deserve 4.5 stars because the soul of the book is out dated (1986) update in 1992 and the computer information update is from 2000.
Anyway it is a great read, and if you are in this stuff on a race track you will understand more why it went wrong when it go's wrong and what to do about the problem.
If you can get the book for a nice price.... get it.

Customer Review: Good book.
It's a good book, but a little thin on actual math (ex: calculating motion ratios, natural frequency, damping factor, etc). It's also thin on practical applications like setting up corner weighting, or the effects of compression/rebound settings, shock technology, etc. It's a good read, but not the end-all reference.
