no please.... this is a joke right? There has to be a law against this!

 

spoke to one of the guys at WorldRacing at exposed6.0, young guy, forgot his name unfortunately, lol

we spoke for a good 20 min, basically, he said he would paint the car pink if it made it go faster! lol Tina this is true, LMAO, so i can definitely agree that function >>>>>form when it comes to world racing, they were basically to the point where nothing else (apart from this front spoiler setup) would aid in producing downforce on this fwd supercar, remember they are pushing 1000hp+ on this setup, and traction was their biggest enemy!

i agree its ugly, but numbers dont lie!!!!

 

If it was a younger guy, it was Ty.

 

yes! he really knows his stuff, awesome talking to someone so involved in such a project!

 

if it works then you cant argue 5 seconds difference is one hell of a long way to go for races. id love to see this car on the track, despite it looking ridiculous. at least youll never lose sight of it as its probably the only car with a front spoiler.

 

QFT

 

I'm surprised they couldn't get the necessary forces with some crazy canard setup. But I guess they'll just let the numbers do the talking...

The pic from Speedhunters..

 

People are missing the point here. Function>form anyday. Who gives a isht if it looks akward.

 

5 seconds! A lot of teams are probably working on their own version of this wing right now.

 

I wonder if & if so how bad it impedes his vision?

 

i dont care about function over form... this has to be the most hideous contraption ever!!

 

well trust me, all they do care about is function
they arent competing in a car show

 

^Exactly. Anyone can make a car look good, but it takes a lot of calculations to get functionality out of something so specific like a race car.

 

its fugly, but it works so yea...

 

I just told Ty to come in here, so they said they'll pop in later on. They're all on one computer.

 

Assuming the front end of this car is complete glass/carbon, there is a ton of weight loss there, coupled with the fact that front drive cars, turbo or non, do not like to take the shortest way around a corner and love to push to the outside, I can see how this could help that inside front wheel bite in the corners and allow the car to turn without biting on the outside wheel and rolling over to the side wall, loosing the contact patch, and not being able to corner rather well...

but that could just be my rendition of what could be happening

 

Hey guys im open for any questions you may have about the front wing or the car. This past weekend at Willow Springs was our first time getting some laps on the WORLD Racing FWD tC. We are overly happy and still a little shocked at the time the car ran but very excited to get back to the track for more testing

 

How about questions about personal property? lol. I think my tool box might still be in the rig, plus my box of stuff. I may come down this weekend & pick it all up before Rob throws it out, lol. Esteban was booked this weekend.

p.s. Tell Rob he sucks cuz his call dropped.

 

i guess my question is what does the front spoiler do

 

hopefully a horrified and ____ed off scion/toyota exec will pressure Rado to remove that front spoiler
