Editorial Reviews: Product Description The requirements for a competition car electrical system are significantly different from those of a standard road car. Such luxuries as electric windows and central locking are superfluous. Conversely, equipment such as emergency electrical cut-outs and fire extinguisher systems may be required. Electrical system reliability is an often-overlooked aspect of competition car design, and a common source of trouble. Here is a practical, illustrated guide to all aspects of electrical system design and implementation, essential reading for anyone running or constructing a competition car or modifying a road car for competition use.

Customer Reviews: A Practical Handbook .. You'd thought they meant Picturebook. November 9, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Well to start with this book is in no way technical "How To" book, which is what I thought it was.. It is a book that talks about various ways to set up your competition vehicle, but it does not tell you how to do it.. The book has a lot of pointless pictures of race cars most of which have nothing to do with anything. I guess they thought that a cool picture of a rally car, circuit car, etc.. would be appropriate here and there. Mostly a bunch of bright ideas or pictures of cool creations with no explanation of how to implement them into your project.. Oh and yes it is VERY BASIC when it comes to electrical teachings.. Pathetic actually.. I guess the author of the book thought that it would be a great idea to show a race car cockpit that looked like something from jet fighter, and point out to the reader that "It's important to clearly label all switches as in this race car" Completely pointless rhetoric.. If your looking for a book that you can learn something from, look elsewhere. I'd like to return this book October 7, 2007 4 out of 5 found this review helpful My apologies to the author & publisher, but IMHO and without prejudice, I believe that unfortunately, this book is not what a car enthusiast who needs practical information needs. Maybe what the other reviewer said is true, it could only be recommended to someone who knows absolutely nothing about cars. Information about circuit breakers is repeated a few times in different chapters. Some analogies run too long and aren't necessary. There is basically nothing in this book that you can't find in magazines or other books, but maybe someone who has zero experience with the electrical side of automobiles MAY find this interesting. A major disappointment was that the price is high, but the information inside was basically stuff you could learn by reading magazines, forums, automotive handbooks and kit car books. For me it was a poor return on investment and I'd like to return it and get my money back.

I would only recommend this to someone who has know idea about anything electrically related to cars.
