Basic Motorsport Engineering is written by a practising lecturer and motorsport engineer who has trained race engineers who are working for the major motorsport teams, including McLaren and Ferrari, and their supply chains. Although there are hundreds of different types of jobs in motorsport, this book will help you understand both the technology and the terminology so that you can progress your career quickly, using IMI or EAL qualifications at Level 2.
