Just a short note to let you know that, if things go as planned, we will have a book available at Silverstone later this week entitled “Learn and Compete, A Primer for Formula SAE, Formula Student and Formula Hybrid Teams”. It is being published by Soheila and William Kimberley of Race Car Graphics (RaceTech Magazine). The book has 26 chapters with contributions by 14 friends that Suzanne and I believe to be among the most knowledgeable on the many aspects of Formula. The topics covered are just about everything from “The Basics” by David Gould to “The Design Event” by Pat Clarke. Other contributors who are often on this Forum are Doug Milliken and Edward Kasprzak of Milliken Research. While the book was targeted at newer teams, we believe there is also a significant amount of material that would make it a beneficial acquisition for the more established teams. Dan Jones, the Formula Student representative on the Rules Committee, who co-authored the chapter on “The Frame, SEF and SES” with me, has read the whole book and has commented that “I only wish it had been available when I competed.”
There is a full page ad for the book in the programme.
See you at Silverstone on Thursday morning.
