Car book recommendations invited (Part 2)
Discussion
I've reviewed two books in the last few weeks for speedreaders -
- Bob Evans' autobiography . Bob was a fixture in UK single seaters in the late 60s and 70s and was most famous for his F5000 success. A good read about a lost era .
- The Likely Lads - about the frenetic era of 1 litre F3 which saw huge grids and brilliant racing across Europe in the mid and late 60s. A car crash of a book but a must read if you want to know more about the formula which gave the likes of Hunt, Peterson, Lauda , Wisell , Pescarolo and many other 'names' their break . Who remembers the F3 car with DAF Variomatic transmission ?
Here they are -

How To Build a Car: Adrian Newey
Agreed - As someone else (More or less) said, it manages to convey the complexities of race car engineering and design to simpletons like me!M
