Trying to remember a Book Title

Brain trust time.
Years ago I read a book that either had a forward by Colin Chapman, or a chapter where they were quoting Colin Chapman, and I am trying to remember the title of the book. Hoping someone here can help. (I know, I know. The song goes sort of like da da te da boom, do you know the title?)

The jist of the text was :

The chassis is just a bracket that everything else bolts to and should be the last part of the car that you design
He justifies by saying stuff like
The rules will define the basic wheelbase
The tires are defined by the rules, so those have pretty much a fixed size.
The Motor and Transmission are pretty much a fixed size, so you know about where they have to go.
The driver is pretty much a fixed size, you don’t have much area to move then around within the car.
The chassis is just a bracket that connect all these pieces and can not directly go through any of them.

Longshot, but does anyone recall the book title?
