Описание: Formula One fans will enjoy exploring the sport in a unique way: using the breathtaking satellite photography of Google Earth This revised edition of Formula One Circuits from Above contains entirely new entries on tracks in Baku, Azerbaijan and Sochi, Russia, along with image and text updates to many of the 28 courses. Thanks to Google's extraordinary mapping technology, everything on these 28 tracks is sharp and clear--all the corners, chicanes, and curves, where the most spectacular action happens. While you'll likely never drive the courses in Melbourne or Singapore, with Google's detailed notes on gears and speeds, and Formula One authority Bruce Jones's insights on the races, you can experience the exhilaration vicariously.
Описание: Formula One Circuits From Above gives the reader the perfect insight into what makes Formula 1 the most exciting and dramatic of all forms of motorsport. The unique photography provided by Google(TM) Earth shows each circuit's challenges and why only the very best drivers in the world can succeed in Formula One. Television cameras, even using High Definition and 3D, flatten and foreshorten racetracks making them, if not featureless, then apparently undemanding. If you were to sit at the Eau Rouge section of Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, walk up to the Casino from the harbour at Monaco, or look out onto the desert at Sakhir, you would quickly realise that these are serious challenges - each entirely different from the other. Stunning photography and insightful and thoughtful writing from one of the world's most travelled Formula One commentators, make Formula One Circuits From Above a fantastic volume to have by your side when you watch the F1 World Championship unfold. The colour, drama, history and excitement of Formula One will never be better displayed in this exceptional volume.
Описание: The essential resource for the season ahead. Formula 1 fans will be kept fully up to speed with detailed examinations of all the teams racing in 2021.
