The Chariot Makers : worth reading!

Just completed The Chariot Makers: Assembling the Perfect Formula 1 Car; the technical dissertation on Formula 1 technology.
An excellent book presented in a clear and concise format while paying respect to the historical aspects of the sport and it's forefathers. Steve Matchett writes with enough of the 'everyman' approach to make the topic interesting, colorful and digestable. If you like the technology of automotive and motorcyle racing you will enjoy this book. It discussed in light detail the historical significance of the many decisions that have been made through the years and dissects several of the key advances in hardware that have also found their way into many modern production automobiles. Traction control, active suspension, advance metals and composites, all part of the history and future of the sport. Next up: the new MotoGP technology book!
