Stemville: The Fast Lane

About this book

It’s time for the annual Big Race in Stemville, when the streets of this peaceful and calm town get transformed into a Formula One race track! Racers Frankie Thunderfoot and Wilbur Hardshell are primed to race in their team cars – but who will win? 

Leading young readers through a delightful range of information about types of car racing – F1, stock car racing, drag racing, and more – this beautiful, graphic-style picture book from Ben Newman describes how racing cars are built by teams, the special technical equipment and tyres they use, how a race works, what pit stops are, how a driver drives a high-performance racing car, and much more. 

As well as containing a great deal of useful and fascinating information about car racing, The Fast Lane also follows a story about the healthy competition between two friends, and the need to slow down sometimes and enjoy the journey. 

A lovely book, with lots of details to look at, for young motoring fans and anyone with an interest in engineering, sports, and mechanics.
