Off Topic: When racecar engineering is a puzzle to be solved
(Or some of the very best motorsport books I've ever read.)
"Those who can, do," motorsport's most famous enthusiast Murray Walker used to say of his vocation in typically modest fashion, "those who can't, talk about it." Taking that adage further still, some of us are just happy to read about it, and ever since I fell in love with cars driving in circles fast I've read everything I could lay my hands on on the sport and those who pursue it. In parallel with my love of video games, enabled and enhanced by the words and articles of fellow fans in magazines or even on sites such as this, reading about motorsport and the fascinating stories surrounding it can be just as rewarding as heading to a race track itself.
