Book Review: Hilliers Fundamentals of Motor Vehicle Technology

I am aspiring Motorsport engineering undergraduate and i have found Hilliers book of fundamentals of motor vehicle technology (part one) priceless in teaching me about the anatomy of a car. It gives in excellent detail everything my inquiring mind has needed in the build up to my course. It begins with the very basics reasoning why chassis are like they are, why the drive is at the back in most cars, why steering is only for front wheels etc, and leads very well into more complex components.
It explains in leyman's terms and builds up vocab and technical ability as you go through, very thorough and very well written book which covers the following chapters in very very good detail, with a vast range of components and concepts explained:
Chapter One: Vehicle evolution, structure and layout
Chapter Two: Engines
Chapter Three: Transmission Systems
Chapter Four: Steering and Suspesnion Systems
Chapter Five: Braking Systems
Chapter Six: Body and Chassis Systems
Chapter Seven: Vehicle Electrical Systems
Chapter Eight: Bearings

At around 600 pages thick.. the detail of all of these chapters is fantastic along with surprisingly easy to understand diagrams of even the most complex systems and components. A fantastic guide to a car for any student or any petrol head. If you are really into motorsport please check out my blog for technical explainations and general bloggings:
