Anatomy & Development of the Indy Car

Anotace

Had they been developed later, they might have 1 I been called "Detroit Cars," but when Indy Car rac-ing was born early in this century, Indianapolis was the hub of the domestic auto industry. The automakers have since relocated, but the cars that compete in one of the world's premier forms of auto racing are still called Indy Cars. In the old days, Indy Cars raced on asphalt, brick, and dirt tracks across the United States. They had riding mechanics who kept the engines oiled, and big balloon tires on which the mammoth, front-engined cars rolled. Today's Indy Cars race internationally on paved ovals and road courses, on temporary street circuits, and at the Brickyard in Indianapolis. Today's Indy Cars are aerodynamic, rear-engined rockets with compact, turbocharged engines, deft handling, and remarkable safety features. The Anatomy & Development of the Indy Car traces the history and evolution of Indy Cars and dis-sects a modern race car to show you what it's made of and how it works. You'll learn why teams dwell more on aerodynam-ics and handling than on their engines; how the sus-pension systems and transmissions work; how Indy Cars are designed and built to protect drivers in high-speed crashes; what the cars' data recording systems tell drivers and crews; and what it's like to be part of an Indy Car team through an entire race weekend.
