## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “It’ll be fine, it’s only physics” !
*by G***P on May 15, 2025*

Any fan of the sport that followed these cars and races and personalities at the time, and perhaps longed for blanks to be filled-in will find this book a completion of a chain.The Parnelli and Chapparal days until now have not received their just attention.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A gripping read for F1 enthusiasts.
*by G***R on April 22, 2023*

Full of technical detail about a sport where a second's difference can define a career, and a brilliant man whose infinitely detailed and revolutionary contributions were compromised sometimes by his lack of people-science. As with the drivers who risk everything as they sit at the pinnacle of this demanding endeavor, so did Barnard.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ very detailed and thorough
*by D***S on September 12, 2024*

Interesting read. Very thorough, detailed and well researched with inputs from all the personnel involved. My only gripe is the seeming appeasement of John Barnard's raging ego. It seems he invented, well, just about everything. Occasionally a third party is mentioned as an "inspiration" to his invention. (Not an actual quote): "John had seen that square wheels were very inefficient and had noted that other teams had experimented with wheels that seemed to not have any flat sides. He then drew out the concept of the round wheel that revolutionized the sport and was immediately copied by the rest of the paddock."
