Understanding the aerodynamics of racing cars with simple examples

2026 edition. Always Aligned To The Actual situation.Understanding the aerodynamics of a racing car may seem difficult, but still really important in 2026. Calculations, drawings and simulations: Engineer's stuff. With the right examples (still very valid) and very simple schemes to follow, through a more practical approach, it is possible to understand how formula1 cars, rally cars, supercars, formula indy and many other racing categories work, even without a technical knowledge. Anyone can learn the rules to use to create great cars and a simple and intuitive explanation is enough to get started. This book has been written for this reason: abandoning for a moment the physical and mathematical equations to assume a more discursive method, using easy examples that are effective to understande the shape of a racing car. categories changes a lot and regulations changes thorugh year, but aerodynamics will always be the same. physics rules doesn't change. know and understand aerodynamics, to really understand the world of motorsport.
