"Chris Willes was an Engineer at Electramotive, brought onto the team in January 1986. His primary assignment was to design and develop aluminum blocks for the GTP and Group C cars, and as it turned out, eventually provided for the normally aspirated GTO class and off-road trucks as well.  Chris brings an insider viewpoint for every aspect of the complexity of the multiple development programs needed to bring a GTP car to the grid, and then develop it into a dominant winner.    

This book extensively covers every aspect of the car’s eventual development into the absolutely dominant Trevor Harris designed Nissan GTP of 1988. And by extensively covering the development, there are pages of photographs and drawings to show the stages of improvements to the main bearing caps and block, from iron block engines through to the eventual alloy block versions. The detail is stunning, including the detail drawings and photographs of each stage along the way. The aerodynamic developments that Yoshi Suzuka achieved with a rolling ground plane 1/7th scale wind tunnel were nothing short of remarkable, and mirrored actual on-track performance.  

This book is the absolute authority on how that greatest of GTP cars came to be after three years of struggle in the class. There is also a great deal about the GTO cars and Mickey Thompson Stadium Truck development, which is also highly interesting.  This book tells the story of developing a dominant GTP car exceedingly well, in detail that is never available outside of being on the team itself."
