The ultimate guide to the world's fastest race cars for curious kids and future Formula 1 fans.
What makes a Formula 1 race car one of the fastest machines on Earth? Why do race cars have giant wings? How do their tyres grip the track? What makes the brakes glow red hot--and could a race car really drive upside down?
Buckle up and join Red Racer and Roxy the Engineer as they take you inside the incredible world of Formula 1 race cars.
Packed with bold illustrations, clear diagrams, real-world photography, and amazing facts, this revised and updated second edition reveals how engines, aerodynamics, tyres, brakes, suspension, fuel, safety systems, and cutting-edge technology work together to create breathtaking speed.
Along the way, young readers discover that building a Formula 1 race car is one of the greatest engineering challenges in the world. Every decision is a balancing act as engineers constantly fine-tune power, grip, downforce, drag, and safety to build the fastest car possible.
Created for curious kids ages 5-10, All About Race Cars transforms a love of fast cars into an exciting introduction to science, technology, engineering, teamwork, and the incredible innovations behind the world's fastest racing machines.
