F1 Race Technology Volume 2 provides an in-depth insight into the engineering and mechanics of contemporary Grand Prix cars. This is the second Special Report on Formula One from the editors of Race Engine Technology and again it puts the engine into the whole car context. It investigates the design and development of the 19,000 rpm cars of today and also looks at how they are to embrace Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems from 2009.

Written with the keen cooperation of many of today’s Grand Prix car designers, F1 Race Technology presents a uniquely detailed analysis of contemporary aero, chassis, tyres, engines and transmissions. It takes the reader behind the scenes of Formula One, to where the amazing 200 mph cars are honed and explains how every last ounce of performance is extracted from them.
