    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    ...to vent air out of chimney openings in the hood. Then I am using sort-of barge boards along the frame rails to direct air into the two diffuser tunnels I have between the frame rail and the outer body sill (about a foot wide). I put small lips in front of my side coves to help draw air out...

    I'd love more pictures of that car... I'm also thinking about ducting the air to the radiator then creating a plenum effect to eliminate the lift

    Hey Jim, This is a stock Gen V ACR-E, identical to mine except for the stripes. It belonged to William Hubble, owner of Hubble Racing in South Florida. He died in Feb at an early age of Parkinson's. He had 2 IMSA GTP Corvettes and a couple of Lambo race cars. It does have a full belly pan...

    ...give 200psi - good - but maybe not enough for transferring the ultimate load to the attachment points. You are "spot-on" with adding diffuser/tunnels to a splitter. I think I've posted that over in https://www.vettemod.com/threads/internal-body-aerodynamics.11568/page-8 post #153...

    ...including the portion of the splitter behind the leading edge of the car (front belly pan). This is especially true if you incorporate diffuser tunnels (very effective) in the lower splitter surface. The ACR, for example, uses two front support struts that are mounted (at the top) to part...

    It is Alive! Update: EFI Fail!!!

    Started removing the C950 from the car this weekend. I was successful at removing the ECU and the harness in the interior of the car. It was a not fun at all. When I put it in, the car had no interior and I integrated the wiring into the main harness for the car including wire looms and...

    ...been away a bit - so will back up to the new tank. Looks like you have an opportunity to use the spare time at Thanksgiving to fab a nice diffuser to add to that space beneath the tank. Maybe an easy Remove & Replace style. Won't be full on race - but favorable with low- very low drag for...

    Road to Optima 2021

    I’d be interested in how much the rear aero improved the car’s handling. That plexiglas plate and diffuser look huge. Your car looks like it belongs to be there, good luck.

    when I finalize the design of my front spoiler - I'm seriously considering sending it to be made in carbon fiber.... the other thing I'm considering is putting another air dam between the front wheels ala IROC Camaros. make it of mud-flap material so it can freely give if hit but it would...

    ...And, testing the entire upper lip could be tested in several configurations before setting one in fiberglass/CF. Basic design can build on diffuser knowledge, as there has been much testing on these in recent years. I like the hood fins SuperBuickGuy has incorporated on his build. These...

    ...mounted to a "Pace Car" spoiler. Also the additional (if understated) canards suggest something happening in the rear too. Any note of a diffuser there? Did you have a chance to speak to the owner/designer/builder? As a side (or top) note, I'm seeing more tow hooks mounted as in the upper...

    ...side panel and the fender. Some clever ducting there to focus what we see down the side of the vehicle. The "Tailored Notch" looks a bit diffuser-like, wouldn't you say? I'll bet there is some significant area-rule work they've done just in that section. The front view shows the wide...

    ...the rear window. This one in "the tunnel" : Aero balance is important. Note the huge dam on the front: That could be a splitter/diffuser instead of a dam. A lot of similarities to your project - have no details on this one. Adding a belly pan is single best addition you can make -...

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    Got a couple of tricks up my sleeve. I originally had a diffuser that ran from just behind the rear axle to the rear of the car. It wasn't very pure from a downforce perspective - too short and somewhat convoluted with provision for the exhaust tips. There are a couple of photos of that...

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    My guess is they (Bugatti) have done cfd and wind tunnel testing. He doesn’t know what is going on before the exit of the diffuser, with all that internal flow through the doors etc, it may have been used in the diffuser to control bl. So, the exit shapes would not be conventional. He’s...
