In this book, the reader learns the essential differences to the passenger car through the analysis divided according to assemblies. This gives him the tools to apply the detailed knowledge acquired to the design and development of competition vehicles. The course for a successful car is set in the concept phase. For this reason, it is given a lot of space and associated design-related areas such as the choice of materials, lightweight construction, design principles, reliability, etc. are discussed. When considering the vehicle as a whole, however, safety systems (rollover device, crash elements, restraining ropes), the cockpit (driver position, seat with restraint system, steering wheel, gearshift, pedal system), the frame or monocoque, the outer skin and aerodynamic devices (ventilation, aerodynamic drag, downforce) must not be omitted. The detailed, in-depth presentation makes the work just as suitable for the interested motorsport enthusiast as it is for the engineer witha practical interest in questions relating to the complete vehicle. The formula material is prepared in such a way that the book can also be used as a reference work.
