This series of books gives you the knowledge to become a successful Race Engineer. There are many good engineering books, but none have been written specifically for someone engineering a Race Car.Whether you are fresh out of university or a club racer wanting to know more; this series is for you. This collection of books has come about for many reasons. My fascination with the technical side of motorsport, the desire to go faster, the desire to learn, and a most importantly to help aspiring Race Engineers. The desire to learn how make machines go faster started as a 10 year old with my first Moto X bike. I kept wondering why the works bikes looked so different to mine in the magazines. Trouble was there were no books to show me how to turn my bike into a works replica.So, I just pulled the forks and dampers apart and tried different oil, valving and springs. Eventually some of the modifications proved successful, but I always thought it would have been so much easier if I had a guide book.I was in the same boat when I started racing my first formula ford. Having to prepare the car myself as well as drive it and engineer it on race day. None of my fellow competitors were going to tell me how to set up the car. And I just couldn't find information that was race engineering specific. I also spent a lot of money with suspension and race prep "experts" who I found out later really did not know what they were doing.When I started working as a Data Engineer in professional motorsport and had to troll through two, floor to ceiling book shelves full of books to find answers to problems. Why can't there be just one book with what a race engineer needs to know I used to think.And finally, the thing that got me writing was working with new Data / Race Engineers. Most were intelligent, hardworking and eager to learn. However, they often came into the team without knowing or understanding what they needed to do as a Race Engineer.I decided to write the first volume on shock absorbers for several reasons. Shock absorbers are the least understood of all components in a race car. I see this nearly every day as part of my business is tuning shock absorbers for customers with many different types of race cars.The most important thing you can take from this book is that shock absorbers are not a black art. Like any mechanical component or any machine in its dynamic state it all comes back to engineering from first principles. Yes, experience does play its part to get the most out of your shocks and give the feel driver wants. But, if you start off following the basic principles laid out in this book, you will soon have your dampers in the ball park.

This guide and textbook on motorsport engineering is written from a practical point of view. It offers a wide-ranging insight into the nuts and bolts technology of practical car racing from saloons and sports cars to open wheelers. It gives the aspiring race engineer the tools to do the job by explaining all aspects of race car technology and offering crucial insight into the essentials of the motorsport engineering industry. For motorsport engineering students at all levels, this book particularly covers the examination syllabuses for IMI (the Institute of the Motor Industry), EAL and BTEC, and meets the CPD requirements of most engineering institutions. Each aspect of the race car is covered in a separate chapter with test questions and suggestions for further study at the end. Combining the key points from his previous publications Basic Motorsport Engineering and Advanced Motorsport Engineering, the author draws on a career in teaching and industry to create the must-have, all-in-one reference. It is an ideal companion for the practising owner, driver or race engineer (whether amateur or professional), a suitable introductory text for HND and degree students and a great point of reference for any other keen fans with an interest in motorsport.

Hand-selected by racing engineer legend Carroll Smith, the 28 SAE Technical Papers in this book focus on the chassis and suspension design of pure racing cars, an area that has traditionally been - farmed out - to independent designers or firms since the early 1970s. Smith believed that any discussion of vehicle dynamics must begin with a basic understanding of the pneumatic tire, the focus of the first chapter. The racing tire connects the racing car to the track surface by only the footprints of its four tires. Through the tires, the driver receives most of the sensory information needed to maintain or regain control of the race car at high force levels. The second chapter, focusing on suspension design, is an introduction to this complex and fascinating subject. Topics covered include chassis stiffness and flexibility, suspension tuning on the cornering of a Winston Cup race car, suspension kinematics, and vehicle dynamics of road racing cars. Chapter 3 addresses the design of the racing chassis design and how aerodynamics affect the chassis, and the final chapter on materials brings out the fact that the modern racing car utilizes carbon construction to the maximum extent allowed by regulations. These technical papers, written between 1971 and 2003, offer what Smith believed to be the best and most practical nuggets of racing chassis and suspension design information.

Ross Bentley. Race teams have discovered great benefits can be derived from "tuning" their driver to perform at his/her full potential. Thus, this book is for everyone who works with a driver: engineers, crew chiefs, team owners, mechanics, and the driver's parents. This unique book instructs the driver's support team how to prepare and communicate with the driver so the driver delivers the best performance in races, practice sessions, and off-track team functions. Written by veteran racer and driving coach Ross Bentley, this book helps the driver's support team devise effective approaches to "tuning" their driver. It will help them identify techniques that do and don't work with their specific driver. The result should be better communication and a driver who is "tuned" for success.

Racecar data acquisition used to be limited to well-funded teams in high-profile championships. Today, the cost of electronics has decreased dramatically, making them available to everyone. But the cost of any data acquisition system is a waste of money if the recorded data is not interpreted correctly. This book, updated from the best-selling 2008 edition, contains techniques for analyzing data recorded by any vehicle's data acquisition system. It details how to measure the performance of the vehicle and driver, what can be learned from it, and how this information can be used to advantage next time the vehicle hits the track. Such information is invaluable to racing engineers and managers, race teams, and racing data analysts in all motorsports. Whether measuring the performance of a Formula One racecar or that of a road-legal street car on the local drag strip, the dynamics of vehicles and their drivers remain the same. Identical analysis techniques apply. Some race series have restricted data logging to decrease the team’s running budgets. In these cases it is extremely important that a maximum of information is extracted and interpreted from the hardware at hand. A team that uses data more efficiently will have an edge over the competition. However, the ever-decreasing cost of electronics makes advanced sensors and logging capabilities more accessible for everybody. With this comes the risk of information overload. Techniques are needed to help draw the right conclusions quickly from very large data sets. In addition to updates throughout, this new edition contains three new chapters: one on techniques for analyzing tire performance, one that provides an introduction to metric-driven analysis, a technique that is used throughout the book, and another that explains what kind of information the data contains about the track.
