Cracking times! Well done for representing the fourternity. There must've been a few folk asking "what the hell is in that thing!?!"

IIRC, the spoiler adds ~80kg at 100mph ;)

Title: Re: day @shakespeares..
Post by: silverspeed on April 12, 2010, 07:33:32 pm

Next time I'll remove it and give it a try.. 80kg loss is a massive gain. What I need to achieve is a fast road going car that handles.

That's 80kg of downforce though, not mass. You need to loose mass if you want to improve acceleration.

Title: Re: day @shakespeares..
Post by: ChrisW on April 25, 2010, 08:00:24 pm

So as your speed increases so does the effective weight of the vehicle then? If you remove the source of the prospective downforce then there won't be the effective addition?
