Hi all,

Does anyone know of any good books, literature or papers on the introduction of aerodynamics in F1, ground effect, wind tunnels etc? I need something desperately for an essay!

Cheers.

A book called Race Car Vehicle Dynamics may have something on it but i've not read it myself, and it's probably not entirely specific to aero either.

A quick google search presented this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aerodynamics-Ra ... 1557882673

But again, it may not have anything on what you are specifically after...

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

I second this, it is better to know about ALL race cars than just know about F1 cars.
