Speed fanatics and race car junkies are going to get their thrills as these pages expose all sorts of technical, historic, and excitement goodness.
This book centers around the Formula One race and takes readers on a deep dive into the sport. From the history of the race to facts about the cars, each page delivers details to enlighten and raise awareness of everything this sport encompasses. The illustrations are bright, bold, and clear to not only support the information with visual assistance but also deliver energy and excitement, too. The information hits quick and precise with direct facts, which are easy to understand and interesting as well.
While there is a bit of general information in these pages surrounding the history of the race, most time is spent on making it clear how much technology, security, work, and more goes into each event and takes place behind the scenes. From the pit crew with each member and their job to layouts of the tracks at highlighted races to the workout that drivers need to do to keep neck, back, and shoulder muscles strong, these pages divulge how much is involved in this sport. Then, there's the technical end...and I especially appreciated this aspect...which explains the various tires involved, controls the drivers have, how specialized even the seats are, and so much more. In other words, readers will quickly realize that the driver is only a small part of the entire process. Plus, it exposes the large amount of professions involved in forming one race...in other words, future career ideas, too.
The text is easy to read, and although there is quite a bit of information packed into these pages, it comes across smoothly and doesn't overwhelm. Much of this is thanks to the short paragraph style and how carefully the themes are laid out with the illustrations. It makes the information easy to consume and revisit as desired. At the end of the book, there's a satisfying glossary for many of the terms to round things off.
These pages not only raise excitement and awareness for the sport, they also deepen the respect for everything involved.

Am I interested in car racing? No, I am not. But that did not stop me from enjoying Formula Fast. The information in this book is interesting, but the format and text features make it truly engaging. Readers will learn everything they ever wanted to know, and lots more!
Illustrator, Dragan Kordic has filled it with colorful text features including diagrams, lists, maps, biographical information...you name it. I have just the reader in my library who would LOVE to be the first to read Formula Fast.
