Reviews

Chassis Engineering for HP Cars is a good overall introduction to Chassis Engineering. Being a car enthusiast with very little experience in the subject, for me it was an excellent beginners book... however I felt it skimmed over some vital topics too quickly and (due to it's time of printing) misses out more modern replacements of older technology. By all means buy it... it's a good book and a great introduction, but be prepared to buy another book on the same topic afterwards.

This book is writen in a simple style, that is easy to read and understand. Unfortunately everything else about the book remains as simple as that. The studies undertaken are all very old and quite honestly out of date for all but a retro hot rod. The photographs show a low standard of design, both in terms of chassis and suspension. There is no example of rocker arm suspension and very little concideration regarding weight reduction. Vehicle samples are old-school American Muscle.
I'm disappionted in the book and now wish I had taken more notice of the reviews in this column.

For those who are into buildind their own spaceframe racecar this is a must have book.Many chassis building techniques explained.All popular suspension systems also explained.A++

As a beginner in Chassis tuning I found this book excellent at explaining the principles of suspension design. Every chapter is well laid out, and all design aspects clearly explained. While it includes useful tips for constructors it is not a detailed hands on formula for constructors, but then it's not meant to be. Its great strength is in clear explainations, giving me lots of inspiration to design and build my own set up. It should be on every enthusiasts book shelf.

A very comprehensive read explaining the 'nuts and bolts of suspension design' extremely well. THere are a number of simple formulae enabling the reader to calculate the essentials of their supension design e.g, cornering force and lateral weight transfer. In all its a great book which guides you from the basic theorys of suspension to the practicallity of uprating your current setup. Only dissapointment was the breifness of the chapter on actual chassis / frame design.
