For those who are seriously into racing, this book is very valuable. However, you must have some arithmetic knowledge, because the book with formulas helps you to calculate the downward and upward pressure. But it is very easy to explain what aerodynamics entails and which involved it on your racing car. On the basis of cases, you will be helped to understand the influence of the many different factors on aerodynamics and then how to play with this. In fact, a textbook that helps the fervent racer make the most of his car. This is very useful for the target group.- Klassiek & Techniek. Competition Car Aerodynamics - A Practical Handbook, by Simon McBeath, is exactly what it says it is: a practical guide to the application or aerodynamic understanding in regards to racing cars. This 305-page third edition comprises 10 chapters plus five appendices and includes a foreword by Williem Toet, a Formula 1 aerodynamicist with more than 30 years' experience. This book is comprehensively illustrated, with clearly labelled diagrams, graphs and pictures. What makes is a great read, whether you are just starting your motorsport career or are simply an armchair enthusiast wanting to understand more, is that is assumes you know very little about the subject. But it does not dumb it down - instead it walks you through each topic, building up your understanding. - Autosport.
The field of aerodynamics has had an increasingly significant effect on performance enhancement over the past 50 years. Competition Car Aerodynamics 3rd Edition continues the practical, hands-on approach of its popular predecessors to cover all aspects of motorsport aerodynamics and features yet more CFD and wind tunnel project material and case studies. Aerodynamic theory is tackled in a comprehensive yet comprehensible way by author Simon McBeath, who has been granted unprecedented access to state of the art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques, as well as regular access to the MIRA full-scale wind tunnel in the UK. Photographs, graphs, CFD-generated images and wind tunnel data - much of which has appeared in the successful Aerobytes series in Racecar Engineering - are used to explain with unrivalled clarity how aerodynamic performance benefits are obtained in practice. With case studies from Formula 1, sports prototypes, Formula 3, GT and saloon cars, club single seaters and karts, this book will appeal to anyone, whether a designer, competitor, student or armchair enthusiast, wishing to gain an understanding of aerodynamics and how it can benefit the performance of all types of competition cars.
