Gr. 5^-8. Racing fans and kids who go crazy over cars will be the audience for this photo-essay on the world of Renault Formula 1 motor racing. Using the by now well-known DK format, the book takes readers into the world of Grand Prix racing, introducing the racing team and showing how it designs and engineers its cars (with a spread devoted to topics like circuits and fuel). The book also looks at the gear and driving techniques of the drivers and takes readers behind the scenes at a race. Other topics covered include safety and what happens to drivers once they give up racing. Certainly one of the best-looking books on automobile racing to come down the pike. Ilene Cooper
