    The exhausts exit inside of a channel (that is part of the diffuser?). Would they have been better off exiting the exhaust away from the body work, Like extending the exits?

    That is an aero problem. That great big, and highly efficient nine lives wing created a ton of low pressure above the deck which drew very hot exhaust gases up the back of the car. The modified exhaust and tune contributed some by creating a hotter than normal exhaust plume, but the aero is the...

    Hope the wing is still working out for you!

    My guess - lowered the chassis and kept full range of suspension movement? Looks like a "mini" spoiler? NO Wing? Maybe saw a Diffuser in the last frame or 2. Belly pan? Full qualified cage? Not quite a GS - Could be much- much fun. Cheers - Jim

    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    ...A front radiator diffuser duct is formed by the CF panels at the sides of the brake ducts and an upper curved panel. The center bar and wing act as an airflow "splitter" to direct air toward the upper portion of the diffuser/radiator. I get my carbon fiber from Fiberglast...

    ...an aero perspective, the "shaped" belly pan would be seeing a slightly larger angle of attack and could introduce some more lift - or stall. In either case thee would be more drag - making a minor contribution to slowing the car. A lot there. Hope you can find some useful nuggets. Cheers...

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    I think he mentions the reason why keeping downforce constant from the underbody wing helps keep tires cooler. When the downforce changes suddenly, the traction forces change rapidly, loading and unloading tires. The sudden changes in load is responsible for wear and heat, I believe is what...

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    So all the phase change materials (and other theories) talk was wrong and front and rear tire temperatures are controlled by flexing the front wing? I think the budget for a top F1 team is $500 million per year. This is why.

    ...7-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmission. The aerodynamics were heavily optimized, with an aggressive front splitter and a massive rear wing to generate downforce. Despite its performance capabilities, the C7 ZR1 still had to contend with the limitations of a front-engine design...

    shook a light out also lost the rod for the passenger side headlight door but the wing is back on - so all is good

    I didn't think I was going to make it. Car is tuned, detailed, truck is back (no front bumper) and my assistant kid is going to help at the event. stupid little wing installed and tw200 tires on the car Are you ready to rock? I am :)

    ...the Silver State Road Racer C-3s did a roof line version. (looking for the image...) I am similarily interested, for improving flow to a rear wing or spoiler - like the M8. But, I am also "conflicted " regarding any advantage that might given to fluid (air) rolling off fenders and impac on...

    ...to the attic and find those pics.) Saw Denny Hulme win the CAN_AM at Donnybrooke - opening year. Later caught Peter Reveson in the same type M-8 McLatren. Always liked the fences-to-wing concept. Almost did it to the little race car, which design was a McLaren near-knock-off. Cheers - Jim

    ...- but here is on that could "disguise" anything that you do underneath: A solid windscreen - well placed louvers , that tilt/twist the flow to that nice wing you have... Oh I'd like to see the numbers before/after. Maybe even some streamlines. Hmmmm. Oh yeah - I got work to do too! Cheers...

    ...to the track... Then slide up and in the seats, put in harnesses, enable auto blip, and good to go. Heat shielding under the trans tunnel. APR wing with aluminum sandwich plate underneath so you don't have 4small bolts trying to rip through the fiberglass hatch. dIY aluminum front splitter...

    He discusses other concepts near the end. I like the one which stalls half the wing.
