If you want to build a kit car, this is not the book for you. If however you have a budding designer wanting to embark on designing and constructing your own racing car this book is a must have. Its a very well put together book, guiding you through the process of designing and building a motorcycle engined racing car, with everything from engine selection, to design and construction. The best thing about this book is that it warns you of the pitfalls of various decisions that one could make, guiding you to design and plan your car so that you avoid such mistakes. For this alone its worth many times it's cover price as it will save you both time and money when it comes to design and build your car. So in closing, if you want a book with full designs for a cookie cutter knock-off Caterham this isnt the book you want, but if you want to build a unique and competitive car for racing, sprinting or hillclimbing then buy this book right now!
I was dissapointed by this book. I thought it would show you chassis and suspension drawings, but alas not. It does give some good detail about how to build a racing car, but not to the same level as a haynes roadster or Ron Chapions book. So if you want a book that includes plans that you can use then look else where.
