Rowley Race Car Engineering Book

This book provides the reader with a basic overview of the racing tire, the science of kinematic motion and the science of performance characteristics related to a vehicle in motion. The book walks the reader through a large number of kinematic and dynamic performance examples while using the accompanying software packages to help clarify each component discussed in Book One. The software also allows the reader to work beyond the confines of the book. The first book, together with its four companion books, have two primary themes: (a) an understanding of the basics of race car dynamics and (b) an understanding of how to use that theory. This book is an absolute must for any race car engineering professional & enthusiast. This is the current 3rd edition, 4th reprint.
