I am building my second sports car,and I purchased this book looking for information into the mysteries and science of front end geometry. I have found that it is well written and has supplied me with the information which I was after. When dealing with the problems of the Ackermann angle
and it's advantages I could not ask for a better teacher. Allan Staniforth has put it all down so that even the amateur like my self can follow with understanding. Some knowledge of maths and maybe the biggest asset you would need is determination to understand what you are trying to achieve.

I have read and re-read many of Allan Staniforth's great books. They are incredibly useful, informative, and shockingly enjoyable to read. The history and general wittiness are very refreshing, the images are extremely well done, and of course the main content is presented in the most useful and understandable way. I recommend anything written by him.

Competition Car Suspension: A practical handbook
Buy this book! I've read it 4 times cover to cover to insure I've sucked every last molecule of detail from its pages. One reviewer commented on excessive focus on the author's car. I disagree. What the author provided was an excellent & illustrative example of how to apply a series of calculations to a given design. For someone designing/understanding their own car, that's exactly what you need. This book is in the top 5% of 100's of technical references I've read over 30+ years.
Rated by buyers -
Staniforth is very knowledgeable and breaks things down so that it is easy to understand. His string computer is a fantastic cheap solution for those without the resources to use software for design. The newest edition really brings this book into the modern day.
Rated by buyers -
This book is very informative. I recommend it to anyone who likes to race cars and wants to understand suspension systems better. My only problem with the book is that it is too focused on the Monopin/Terrapin car that the author himself built. I think a broader range of cars and tuning tips would have been beneficial. But all in all, I understand suspension systems much better after having read the book.
