'Paulo Reis Mour縊's book is a dazzling example of what a critical eye toward data and a profound knowledge of a subject area can yield - in this case, a deep understanding motorsport

economics previously not understood by anyone. The Economics of Motorsport takes on the old joke "How to you amass a small fortune in motorsport? - Start with a large fortune!" and explodes common sense paradigms by answering thoughtful questions with decades of information and precise analysis. From the economics of a frustrating season, to the impact of pole position, to the importance of diversity, Mour縊's work examines Formula 1 at its most specific and significant.' Ehren Pflugfelder, Oregon State University, USA
