Racing and Sports Car Chassis Design

"Ah ha! Yes, well, I put this one in to show what a wacky, fascinating and fun individual I am. I read this at school too. I loved art and poetry but I also loved racing cars.

If you want to know how to design a racing car in the 1960s style then this is the book you need. It shows you how to bend metal, design suspension, tune engines. And it’s a beautiful book with wonderful illustrations. It describes the conceptual principles of mechanical engineering that have been with me ever since. Not that I have designed a racing car since then. There is a picture of the polar moment of inertia. Once you have a concept like that, these principles of technology and their vocabulary can easily be applied to people, don’t you think?"
