I'll vouch this is a good book, fun read. A couple of the guys mentioned therein still work at the Penske race shop in NC.
Do you a favor and read it.
Bought it the day before and could not put it down a minute.
It is kind a soft at the beginning, but develops nicely.
Worth a good read.
And it gives a good view on engine development in the past, which may for some part be also valid today - looking at the newly developed F1 engines. The book also mentioned that the 265E had some ECU problems. Not unlike Renault and Honda are facing today, but for other reasons ...
