-How aerodynamics win races. Why downforce is more important than
streamlining and drag reduction
-Wind tunnel designs, methods and results-what you can and can't believe
-Special overview section reviews the fundamentals of aerodynamics
-Full definitions of terms, with equations and examples provided for
determining key aerodynamic parameters like Drag, Lift and Side-force
coefficients, fluid viscosity, or wind-tunnel corrections
-Designing wings and venturis-what works and what doesn't
-Numerous examples using specific race cars: passenger-based, prototypes,
and open-wheel designs Drawing upon his extensive research and experience in the field of aerodynamics, the author has produced a comprehensive data base that will become a standard in its field. Whether you are a designer, instructor, or enthusiast, "Race Car Aerodynamics" will give you the essential information on what makes race cars fast.
