Virtual Build

Four years ago I started to think about a car, which I really would like to drive and race. My past car guy experience and feelings don’t allow me to buy the passion — I must build it. This way of doing things is a great cause and opportunity to document a process. Or to simulate it, firstly.

In the book, I show my thoughts, solutions and view of building the street & circuit car.
