TUNE TO WIN covers the development and tuning of the race car by clearly explaining the basic principles of vehicle dynamics and relating these principles to the various systems of the racing car and to the inputs and control functions of the racing driver. The author explores the subject step by step and explains how and why each system is supposed to work. He then proceeds to tell us how to know if it is working and how to make it work if it is not, by itself and in concert with the rest of the car. The areas covered include vehicle dynamics, steering and suspension geometry, springs and shock absorbers, tyres, response, external and internal aero-dynamic s, tuning the engine, the drive line and racing in the rain. Smith is both explicit and pragmatic; he assigns priorities to the different areas of vehicle performance and he explodes some cherished myths. Not everyone is going to agree with everything he has to say, but what he has to say on any given subject is going to start the reader thinking.
