From the first motor-powered horse carts, to the economic cars of today, German inventors and engineers came up with some cool stuff, such as the first silver arrows, the quad-drive for rally cars and the long-range race cars dominating the LeMans, Dakar and many other races around the world. We will introduce you to the fascination that has been fuelling dreams for over a century. You will learn what it takes to build really fast cars, from the tires, gearbox up to power train and aerodynamics.
