great idea! i knew a physics professor once who developed an entire semester using "how racecars work" as his guiding light. i think he wrote a textbook, but i can't find it.

not: the physics of racecars, that is explaining racecar dynamics given physics fundamentals, rather explaining the fundamentals using racecars instead of spherical cows. i think not very different to first semester analog ee courses using hifi audio as the basis.
