Race Cars Up Close - Tapa dura

Start your engines...the race cars are here! The thrill of seeing cars zoom at more than 200 miles per hour has made racing one of the world's most popular sports. But what are those high-tech autos - both NASCAR and Formula One cars - like once they've slowed down? Young readers can get up close and see their technology, mechanics and design for themselves. They can find out how they're built and what makes them different from regular cars on the street. There's a huge fold-out view of the engine. (It's also a poster on the back of the jacket). And the picture of a dashboard is so big they'll feel as if you're sitting in the driver's seat. It's the next best thing to being at the wheel!
