The Perfect Car: The Biography of John Barnard

The Perfect Car: The Biography of John Barnard

John Barnard revolutionised Formula 1, and motorsport as a whole, through his unrelenting quest for perfection in racing car design. Written with Barnardâ€™s cooperation and with input from dozens of associates, drivers and rivals, this biography tells the entire story, both personal and professional, of a British design genius.

Barnardâ€™s technical achievements are explored in detail â€” and in accessible language â€” with special emphasis on his brilliant initiatives while at McLaren (the first carbon-fibre composite chassis) and Ferrari (the first semi-automatic gearbox). The Perfect Car is also a human-interest story, telling a tale of innovation under intense pressure while Barnard endeavoured to maintain a stable family life.

This is a landmark book that will be relished by anyone interested in motorsport and design.
