How to design cars like a pro:
https://www.amazon.com/How-Design-Cars-Like-Pro/dp/0760336954
Is essentially the bible for car design students, it has lots of info about design, famous/ important designers and cars and a good section on the day in the life of a designer. Highly recommended.
How to draw cars the hot wheels way
https://www.amazon.com/How-Draw-Cars-Hot-Wheels/dp/0760314802/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1542868955&sr=1-1&keywords=How+to+draw+cars+the+hot+wheels+way
Zounds a bit weird but hear me out, this is by Scott Robertson, one of the gurus of car sketching and contains great tips on aesthetics and techniques for car design, plus there is an absolute ton of awesome renders from the Hotwheels design team.
From my understanding Formula Student is a competition where Universities compete against each other. The teams have to get their own sponsorship (business aspect I mentioned) to fund parts and development and do the full engineering too which had lots of CAD work (perfect for us ID guys). It goes on every year and follows similar aspects of the development path Formula 3 takes. Technical knowledge you could pick up from it would be invaluable for automotive design.
I bought my ref guide directly from them when they first got funding. They ship globally and I've never seen them in shops so I can't think of anywhere else to buy it. Two other books that I have are How to design cars like a pro and How to illustrate and design concept cars.. Quite dated now but I still use them for visual references.
