Hottest Race Cars

* Reviews *

While many young readers have heard about NASCAR, few know the difference between stock and open wheel race cars. This informative book is a basic introduction to the series that make up open wheel at the highest level: Formula One, Indy Racing League and Champ Car. Except for the fact that the Indy Racing League and Champ Cars World Series are now a single series under the Indy Racing League name, the information given in the book is an accurate overview of the sport. There are definitions, race facts and pictures of cars and drivers. There is a balanced look at both the American and the international aspects of the sport. This year is the 100th year of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home to American open wheels most famous race—the Indianapolis 500—and for those who would like to interest the next generation in the racing phenomenon that is open wheel, this book would be a terrific start. The glossary and resource list provide additional information for readers., Children's Literature
