Ya man 🇯🇲 like that |
Some interesting aero from a Japan time attack car. I don't know much about it, but here is a link to the source.

Hah figured it was GV, looked like the super hot sex wet time NC top they make.
|
Interesting how they put canards behind the wheel. And they mounted a 3d wing pretty high. Is this doable due to big chord length? |
I would like to see the underside of that car.

Lots of ideas on that car. Some good, some less so. Curious, does anyone know what kind of drivetrain that car is using?

I searched for a little bit, but didn't event find anything on "BBQ Roadster". Based on the short blurb of stating it turned a time just under 1min at Tsukuba, I'd assume it was a NA BP. That is about what the NA AE86's run.

I don't think that it's a great aero package on that car. But it probably helps his lap times all the same. Here is the start of my new aero package. I have laid up the carbon fibre, but forgot to take a pic. The green line is the part I am making. It's as wide as the car at 65" wide, and high as the roof. It bolts in to the chassis in the area that is hidden by the rear bumper. Next is to make the wing... http://i66.tinypic.com/23le643.jpg |
Sean from Narita replied to my request for more information:

Of course you can go for low drag. Smooth everything, tiny intake for heat exchangers ducted out the hood, square off the back, wheel covers, etc. But having downforce will still yield faster lap times. I only have about 120hp in the black car, yet i have heaps of aero for downforce. Last time out I was the 6th fastest car outright, and only half a second off the MX5 club outright record. And that was on 2 old R specs, and 2 S spec tyres. If your on the hwy, go low drag. |
I'm curious, has anyone tried making vertical fences/endplates for a spoiler (NOT a wing). I have more Lexan lying around :). Has anyone has tried this, or know how it would affect the performance of the spoiler?
**Edit: The low AOA in this photo is due to me compensating for a bad alignment that was causing crazy understeer, which has since been fixed. This idea is about taking advantage of the end plates allowed in my class, since I do not currently have the budget for a big wing. The car will also eventually have splitter of some kind. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...c72b32d52c.png E.G a plate on each side of a spoiler that just boxes in the sides and channels air through it. I was thinking of starting the fences a bit wide and tapering them in to the width of the spoiler to have it 'grab more air' even at a lower AOA. See my amazing MS paint diagram below. I am Aero Noob. School me please. View from above: https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...0579ca0d5f.png |
Not to be Captain obvious here, but if you're in an autocross, why aren't you just bumping the AOA like 20 degrees more? |
