Product Description
This fully-updated second edition of Tremayne's authoritative book explains the technical changes imposed since Alain Prost won the 1993 World Championship, following developments right through to the 2000 season. Contents cover: grooved tires, special materials that enabled some 1999 engines to rev at over 17000rpm, aerodynamic problems behind rear wing failures, design processes, wind tunnels, structural integrity, driver and circuit safety, current regulations, mandatory crash tests, and the often contradictory perspectives of the various contenders.

 A Glimpse Into the Recent History of F1 Technology July 13, 2002
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you're already well-versed in the latest F1 technology and are looking to further your knowledge to the absolute edge of the "state-of-the-art", this book may seem a bit stale. Like any technology-related book, it has become dated quickly.But if you're a information-hungry "techie" who is relatively new to F1, you will enjoy the book. It serves as a valuable reference guide to the recent (mid-90s) history of F1 technology. It helps you put things into perspective, explaining how current F1 technology arrived at its present state.
 Good, but.. February 28, 2001
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
This is a good book for anyone interested in Formula 1, provides good information and an "inside" view, but I found two problems. First this is a 1997 book sligthly revised in 2000, but it covers mainly F1 before 1997. Second, 95% of the photos are BW. In a F1 book, hardcover, this cost ??? Please...
