Content
This book is a must for anyone fascinated with speed. On this grand tour of the world of racing, children learn what makes a race car different from other vehicles, how a Formula One Grand Prix race is organized, what the various flags mean, and what happens during a lightning-fast pit stop. Dragsters, karts and motorcycles race each other, too, and how about a road rally that takes drivers thousands of kilometers through the desert? A foldout page becomes a racetrack where young readers can be in the driver’s seat and test their knowledge.
