I am interested in learning about motorsports history, particularly with regard to sports car and open wheel racing from the post-war period through the 1970s. I have Frere's book, Sports Car and Competition Driving, which describes some of the technical aspects of motorsports driving, and I am looking for something that covers the fundamentals of how cars (and affiliated equipment such as tires) were designed in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. On Amazon.com, I see plenty of books on modern automotive engineering, but I suspect that those will omit discussion of what are now obsolete ideas and approaches. Does anyone have any suggestions for books covering the technical fundamentals of post-war era high performance automotive engineering?
