### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very good book, well written and compelling story. It helps if you are racecar obsessed too.

I have to admit I didn't set out to buy this book. I think I was looking in historical fiction and somehow from click to click I landed here.I am not terribly surplussed because I do buy a lot of automotive books, usually about the golden age of racing.Being free, it was not a hard decision, but my expectations were pretty low. The good reviews inspired me to give it a shot.A bit later I started reading it and I was hooked. The writer has a very easy going style and he makes you feel like you are part of the team trying to build this racecar. To me, this is a story that goes well beyond racecar building, driving or even competition. It's a story about people passionate about what they do. It could have been a racecar or a racehorse. It could have been a college band. It doesn't matter. The level of commitment, the sacrifices will resonate with everyone that has ever put hearth and soul into something they were passionate about.The fact that this is a racecar of course made it more interesting to me and more relevant to my own passion. Incidentally, I am still reading the book, although I am a few pages from the end.I definitely suggest this book to anyone interested in compelling stories and of course to anyone planning to go into the same field.I would also suggest this book to anyone married to someone so involved in a project or a hobby. It may give you insights on what drives your spouse to do what he or she does.The answer is: Because racecar

    If I'd have known about Formula SAE, I might have gone to college
  

*by L***Z on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2013*

This is an interesting look into a little-known form of motorsport: race cars built as school projects by college students. It's also a glimpse into just what kind of obsession racing can become, as Matt Brown details how building and driving the car slowly begins to consume all of his (and his teammates') time and money. Everything falls by the wayside as these students spend up to eighteen hours in the shop in the pursuit of speed.This is a fun book, and if you're into racing at all, give it a spin. I wish I had known about Formula SAE when I was younger; if I had, I may have gone to school instead of the military. Of course, given how racing devours your time and money and often gives so little back, maybe it's good that I didn't.

    Hilarious, intense, thoroughly enjoyable
  

*by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2013*

What do you think would happen if you put a handful of college students in charge of designing, manufacturing, testing, and competing in their very own race car?  Matt Brown, the head of the team, narrates a year in the life of just such a program at the University of Oklahoma.The book is enjoyable in every way.  There is person-versus-person conflict between the various team members and their different philosophies and work ethics.  There's person-versus-nature conflict, or perhaps person-versus-machine, as they try to cobble the car together, tweak it, tune it, and get it ready to go under harsh deadlines.  There's person-versus-self conflict as Matt figures out what it means to be a leader and bring such a diverse team together in the pursuit of one objective.  Matt does an excellent job of balancing all this conflict with major doses of humor, and the end result is a book that is simply a total blast to read.  I think I finished it in less than 24 hours because I just couldn't put it down.It's highly accessible to readers who don't have a particular interest in racing or engineering, which means you have no excuse not to buy it and love it.  Do so.  Right now.
