Aerodynamics for Racing and Performance Cars

vi, 137 pp. "...offers a basic explanation of vehicle aerodynamic theory, principles and application. Included are such subjects as: form drag, drag coefficient, size and frontal area; the effects of drag on performance; rolling resistance, top speed, acceleration; aerodynamics and dragsters; reducing drag; ducting, slipstreaming or "drafting"; aerodynamic braking, drag chutes; basic vehicle dynamics; aerodynamic effects on handling; aerodynamic lift; rear spoilers, downforce, front air dams, NASCAR roof flaps, wings; ground effects and aerodynamic testing."
