Auto racing has always been an interest of mine ever since attending my first Formula One grand prix with my father. Taking that interest as the foundation for my thesis topic, I decided to research livery systems in auto racing, and I remember coming across this book while conducting my research. Go Faster: The Graphic Design of Racing Cars is written by Sven Voelker.

"Stripes, numbers, colors, and logos – the graphic visual look of a racecar has to stand out from all the others as they go zooming by. Most people don’t know that racing cars from the likes of Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati, and Lotus were given their looks not by marketing strategists or designers, but by pure chance. Go Faster is a collection of over one hundred examples of racecar design that documents the carefree anarchy in which they were created."

The book is presented in a very clean, concise manner with loads of imagery, but I'm not too sold on the content. There seems to be a lack in the amount of content and the book as a whole leaves you wanting more. Still its a very interesting topic and definitely worth a look at if you're an auto racing fan.
