Going far beyond the simple descriptions of racing, these books describe how the cars are built, how they've evolved, and the electronic components that give drivers incredible control. Protective gear is described for all, but it is particularly emphasized for motorcycle racers as they crash frequently and have no other protection. 'Profiles in Speed' introduce readers to famous racers like Jimmie Johnson and Nico Rosberg. The clean layout with minimal sidebars is inviting for older readers using these books for research purposes.
