If you are aspiring to build a racing car, How to Build
Motorcycle-engined Racing Cars could be the book that you've been
waiting for! Tony Pashley revisits the path that he took in the
Pashley Project articles in Race Tech magazine during the design
and construction of two successful hillclimb cars, but this time in
great detail, with a view to enabling the reader to carry out a
similar exercise for themselves. Although hillclimb and sprint cars
are the focal topic, a lot of the book is applicable to race cars
in general. The cars under discussion in the book are powered by
motorcycle engines, which are meeting with great success in the
smaller racing car classes. The total process of building a car is
described, beginning with the selection and procurement of the
engine. Chassis and suspension design is covered in a simplistic
but adequate manner as the author's aim is to minimize the
inclusion of involved calculations. Two recipes for chassis
construction are illustrated in detail, along with guidance on the
processes of construction and a description of the required
equipment. Following on from this, the fabrication of the
suspension is explained. Further chapters are dedicated to the
remaining aspects of the vehicle, covering transmission, brakes,
fuel and coolant systems, and electrics. The book is heavily
illustrated with 200 photographs and extensive explanatory diagrams
and tables. It is a vital addition to any would-be kit car
builder's library.
