Motor racing has a glamour and fascination all of its own - the noise, smell of fuel, gleaming cars and the drivers themselves. But behind every driver there are sponsors, managers, engineers, mechanics and a whole team of professionals. This book explains their role and also takes the reader behind the scenes in the exciting world of motor racing, revealing how a driver is selected and how a car is prepared, finely tuned, raced, adjusted and raced again.
