Riassunto

Most competition vehicle books are difficult to read, use jargon and waffle on subjects that are not useful to the reader. The book aims to give the reader knowledge around transforming a road going vehicle (car in this case) into a competition vehicle (road car to race car transformation). The reader is given deep information and a detailed analysis behind the modifications that need to be made to the car, in order to compete on the race track, performance enhancing modifications, driver information, the fixings and fasteners that need to be used throughout the vehicle, race event checklist, component life chart and an overall costings chart. Subjects explored include car selection, championship selection, types of roll cages, safety enhancements (including suitable stickers), rules and regulations (MSA & FIA), engine modifications, weight modifications, safety equipment, data logging equipment, driver ARDS training, race day events, driver gear and much, much more. This book will help develop advanced knowledge, understanding and skills related to a performance vehicle as a whole, especially in the context of competition usage. The performance enhancing section of the book will analyses and evaluate power units, vehicle layouts, steering, suspension and braking systems for competition applications. The driver section of the books describes and discusses the ergonomic and human factors regarding performance car design. Containing useful references for more background reading if desired, this book is your one stop shop on covering changing a road going car into a race car!
