From the earliest aviation experiments to today’s electrified hybrid power units, Turbo Revolution traces the fascinating journey of forced induction in motorsport. Beginning with the pioneering work of Alfred Büchi and wartime turbocharger development, the narrative sweeps through the golden eras of Formula 1, Can-Am, Group B rally, IndyCar, and endurance classics like Le Mans-highlighting the technical breakthroughs, regulatory battles, and larger-than-life personalities that drove each leap forward.Packed with detailed explanations of turbocharger anatomy, aerodynamics, and electronic engine management, this book balances deep technical insights with riveting stories of 'firsts' and underdog triumphs. Whether you’re an engineer seeking to understand compressor maps and wastegate tuning, a historian curious about the politics of pop-off valves, or an enthusiast eager for personal anecdotes from legends like René Arnoux and 'Big Daddy' Don Garlits, Turbo Revolution offers an accessible, flowing narrative that brings forced induction’s impact on racing vividly to life.
