I am aspiring Motorsport engineering undergraduate and i have found Hilliers book of fundamentals of motor vehicle technology (part one) priceless in teaching me about the anatomy of a car. It gives in excellent detail everything my inquiring mind has needed in the build up to my course. It begins with the very basics reasoning why chassis are like they are, why the drive is at the back in most cars, why steering is only for front wheels etc, and leads very well into more complex components. It explains in leyman's terms and builds up vocab and technical ability as you go through, very thorough and very well written book which covers the following chapters in very very good detail, with a vast range of components and concepts explained: Chapter One: Vehicle evolution, structure and layout Chapter Two: Engines Chapter Three: Transmission Systems Chapter Four: Steering and Suspesnion Systems Chapter Five: Braking Systems Chapter Six: Body and Chassis Systems Chapter Seven: Vehicle Electrical Systems Chapter Eight: Bearings
At around 600 pages thick.. the detail of all of these chapters is fantastic along with surprisingly easy to understand diagrams of even the most complex systems and components. A fantastic guide to a car for any student or any petrol head. If you are really into motorsport please check out my blog for technical explainations and general bloggings: http://motorsportengineering.blogspot.com/ Thanks
