I have some friends in F1 land who are connected to teams...I don't what I can find out but i'll see if they have some resources they can point D to.
Derek...having looked at the point system in your class...now I can see how ur mods/weight reduction and such have put you in this fix.....will the wings/splitters just add to the problem or are you well within (low enough points) where aero upgrades won't move you up to "B"?
Yep, I've been thinking of this and keep sketching out ideas. I started to think about more whilst photoshoping some race graphics at the weekend. I'll post something up when I get chance to put something together.
I think I have alluded to this before, but the designers have payed a lot of attention to the aerodynamics on this car; just look how smooth the unedrside is, the undertray and the fairings on the rear wishbones to preventing disturbance to the airflow before it leaves via the rear diffuser.
I think shaving those big mirrors may be worthwhile too on a race car. Oh well, out with the sketch book again.....
