GPL: book req (a bit off topic)

by Martin Portm » Fri, 10 Dec 1999 04:00:00

i'm looking for a book that explains (big pictures, short words!) how
engines/carbs/drivetrain/susp. of cars (normal road cars) work and how
they all fit together.  'car mechanics for dummies' kind of thing.
anyone have any recommendations?

obligatory gpl q:

does team matter?  if i'm in an eagle, trying to pass an (ai) eagle,
is he more likely to give way than passing a lotus, for example?  or
vice versa?

No, although that would be cool. I've yet to see a sim implement this.
