Aerodynamics across racing disciplines

J. Katz’s book examines how aerodynamic design contributes to speed in several forms of competition, including Formula 1, Indy Car, drag racing, and sedan racing. It brings together topics such as downforce, drag reduction, wings, venturis, and wind-tunnel design, with explanations that connect engineering decisions to race-car performance. The book’s scope makes it both a technical overview of vehicle aerodynamics and an introduction to the design considerations behind different racing cars.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Engineers seeking an overview of aerodynamic design in race cars.
  • Motorsport enthusiasts interested in how vehicle design affects speed.
  • Readers exploring wings, venturis, downforce, and wind-tunnel design.
