Racing Cars

by Whitecap Books

For as long as there have been cars, people have wanted to race them. Motor racing takes many forms, from children's go-karts to souped-up family cars and racing trucks, to the exciting world of Formula 1 racing. The name 'Ferrari' make people think of the famous original red racer, but what do the latest Ferraris look like? Do they come in colors other than red? The thrill and action for racing is captured in the detailed pictures in this book, such as a close-up view of a racing car cockpit and engine. Other spreads show how to modify the family car so you can race it on a track, what happens at a pit stop, new safety features for tracks and drivers and much, much more. And what about the problems you'd face if you took your Formula 1 racing car to the supermarket.
