Rally Cars

By Jeffrey Zuehlke

Book Overview

Dust flies and mud splatters as finely tuned rally cars whip sideways around a sharp turn. Rally racing's mix of speed and off-road adventure makes it one of the most popular motor sports in the world. Fans love to cheer on their favorite cars and drivers as they tackle some of the world's toughest courses. In this book, you will learn: how the Monte Carlo Rally and other early rallies helped to create the sport and improve car technology; how driver S?bastien Loeb became one of the sport's all-time greats; how the fans at a race can actually be involved in the action; and how drivers handle their cars over dirt, ice, mud, and more.
