About this book

Win a Grand Prix follows a middle school student who joins a local racing team and uses math learned in class to help design a faster car and develop race strategies. Through the story, readers see how geometry, algebra, and data analysis help the protagonist figure out the best racing lines, tire pressure, and fuel loads. The narrative takes place at a Grand Prix event, mixing scenes of competition with math problems that encourage readers to apply the concepts themselves. The book is intended for middle-grade readers (ages 10-14) and shows how school-level math can be used in motorsport.
