The editors of Car and Driver magazine love nothing more thanfast, cool cars. (Okay, maybe we love cookies a little more.) We know you love radical rides and mean machines just as much, so we put together this trivia book just for you. It's packed with amazing facts about everything from tracks to engines, racers to rallies, and more--plus it's filled with awesome photos of the most incredible vehicles on the planet! From supercars and NASCAR to a two-headed truck (see page 105), we've got everything a car-obsessed kid like you wants (except maybe a free Lamborghini). So shift your mind into high gear: Just like racetracks themselves, some of these questions are going to be easier than others. But whether they're no-brainers or head-scratchers, we promise that they're all fun! All right, ready to learn and laugh along the way? Then sharpen your pencil and your brain, because off we go! How to Use This Book Hey car kids! We've printed the trivia answers a page or two after each question. So after you make your guesses, turn to see if you got them right (no peeking!). Often, there are multiple answers on a page, so stay in your lane and just focus on the answer you're looking for! There are six chapters of this book, with each devoted to a specific car topic. Feel free to read through in order or flip around--the only rule of this book is to enjoy yourself (well, also, no peeking at those answers!).
