Not even just the spoiler, the shape of the body does influence the aerodynamic and behavior alot. And the geometry of the suspension, spring-rate and 'thickness' of the oil use for the shocks, compound of the rubber-tires and the hardness of the insert.... yup, just like setting up a real car... I remember some of the drivers have a weight measurement board, 4 Digital scale attached to a flat board, to measure the weight distribution of the car. mmm..... those days......  Ops... sorry guys..... off topic......

This looks great, glad you did with with the nismo ^_^/
I wonder what pressures, or difference, the air flowing across the front splitter, through the radiator and into the engine makes. Something to possibly look into for Mike or someone else is the paint like fluid used to check aero in Formula1. They "paint" it on to leading surfaces and can see where and how much it flows. Some discussion here. |
