Basic Course in Race Car Technology (Springer, Berlin)

The focus of the book is on the driving dynamic properties of racing vehicles. The interaction of the tyre, the aerodynamics of the chassis and the limited slip differential specific to racing vehicles is dealt with. A chapter on the basics of vehicle dynamics makes it possible to get started with this topic even without prior automotive engineering training. A historical review and a consideration of the essential safety aspects create an understanding of higher-level requirements, which are specified, for example, aby the technical regulations.
