This review is a companion to my recent one on Peter Wright's "Formula 1 Technology." Much more visually illuminating, if not as deep a dive into the core technology. Put the two together and you've got a real 5-star package. If you have interest in knowing more about some of the highest achievements in vehicle performance, mechanical, digital and human, then you couldn't do better. Plus it's a beautifulbook about cars that are just stunningly gorgeous...especially at 200mph.

Anyone who's serious about racing cars knows that top-tier spare parts are the difference between winning and being stuck in the pits. You can have the best engineering on the planet, but if you’re using second-rate parts, you're in trouble. Any single connecting rod can change the game. It’s all about reliability, and this book is what I will recommend too.

Excellent! If you want a deep dive into F1 car technology look no further. Great photos and technical descriptions that are easy to understand.

Holy shit, am I excited about this one. It's a Haynes manual for the RB6.
