Motorsport has always been a thrilling blend of speed, skill, and engineering genius-but behind the roar of engines and the cheers of crowds lies a quieter battle. As safety standards, environmental policies, and technical requirements multiply, the costs of compliance have surged, threatening the accessibility and diversity of racing. Grassroots competitors, privateers, and small teams often find themselves priced out, while regulatory frameworks grow ever more complex.
Brake Check on Bureaucracy offers a fact-rich, narrative journey through the history and present state of motorsport regulations. From the origins of governing bodies to high-profile controversies over fuel flow meters, roll-cage standards, and electric vehicle noise rules, it exposes the tension between safety and sustainability on one hand, and fairness and affordability on the other.
Drawing on real-world case studies from club circuits to global championships, the book highlights the advocates, innovators, and communities fighting to keep racing open to all. It's a deep exploration of how bureaucracy shapes the sport-and how common sense can still save it for future generations.
