A crash course in the exciting world of professional motor racing.
Formula One Racing For Dummies has all the information you need to start following this exciting motor sport. You’ll learn the basic dynamics and rules of F1, and you’ll get a primer on the drama, strategies, politics, and rivalries that have turned the sport into a global sensation. Written by an industry expert, this book is full of fun anecdotes that will get beginners and die-hards alike excited for the next race. Get to know the contemporary F1 scene, with profiles of current team managers and drivers, info on the best media coverage and F1 news sources, and the latest rules and technical regulations. For fans who watch F1 on TV and those who attend the races in person, this fast-paced Dummies guide is a perfect way to bolster your enjoyment of the sport.
Formula One fans can rarely explain just what exactly got them interested in the first place. It is not as if you can play it during school games, and not many parents ever get to drive Formula One cars in their spare time. However, Formula One motor racing is attracting millions and millions of new fans every year — all of them hooked for different reasons.
This book helps you work out just what’s so interesting about Formula One and find out exactly what you’re missing if somehow this is your first contact with it. If you have never watched a Formula One race before, this book shares with you the basics of Formula One racing. It looks at the design of the cars, and weird quirks like why the races start without a green go signal. I explore the mindset of drivers, and all the safety devices and tests that ensure they are protected as much as possible if they do crash.
But the book also contains key elements to help you, the fan, get more out of the sport. If you follow it at home and want to better understand what tire strategy is all about (because yes it is important to the outcome of every race!), there are chapters looking at that. But, if you want to take your experience of Formula One to another level and take the plunge in choosing to go to a race yourself, you’ll find plenty of information here about where best to go, how to arrange your trip, and what to do when you get there.
