All right. So I have been away for a week and have spent most of it either reading about aero, looking at pictures of aero, or discussing aero with mates.
Home for one day and I took to the car with an angle grinder. Again. This time in the quest for more venting for the oil coolers, and to get air out of the guard and engine bay.
This is the result of a kilo or so of clay to get the shape right. I made a quick and dirty moulding so I can get something on the car for further shaping and to figure out how it is all going to fit together.
The guard will extend down to the existing side skirt, which will be sculpted to flow around the fire wall from the inner guard. A flat floor section will join the skirt and guard to the chassis rail, very much stolen from current spec DTM cars.
In other news I finally got around to taking the car to Coolfoam today. They were pretty happy with the signage and wanted a photo to hang on the wall. The car was filthy from the test day, so I promised to send them one of the track day ones above. (Assuming I can contact him- I don't do facebook)
