  In the ruthlessly competitive, multi-million pound, world-wide business of Grand Prix and Indy car racing, the techniques involved in the design, construction and evolution of the cars have scaled new peaks of complexity. This book charts, in detail, the leading-edge technology which is now almost taken for granted in order to establish front-running status. It covers Formula 1, Indy and sports cars, with expert input from leading designers, teams and manufacturers. Offers detailed technical insight into those cars which have set the pace of change over the past 10 years, includes discussion and analysis of technical regulations proposed for 1994, assessing their implications for drivers and constructors alike as well as including illustrations of 150 pictures of engine, chassis and constructional details.
