Do you know the 1913 445-cubic inch, 162 HP Peugeot was the pattern for the world's most durable racing engine—the Offy ... that front-wheel drive ruled Indy from the mid '20s and into the '40s that the Miller, Offy and Novi engines have a common heritage? INDY CAR goes behind the doors of Gasoline Alley, the shops of Indy-car designers, fabricators and engine builders to look at the technology of the Indianapolis 500. Roger Huntington presents an insider's look at the successes and the failures, beginning with the construction of the Speedway in 1908 and ending up with the modern Indy car as we know it today. The most complete technical account of the developments that have made Indy cars faster—and some that didn't.
