Bit of an update.

We won our 2nd meeting of the year and have now also ran another PB of 6.4261 at 191mph

We were getting to approx 195mph and the rear slicks were rubbing on the inner arch so we need to raise the body up some more.

I have bought a nice wing that I intend to add to the very front of the car at a shallow angle to help the whole front end to be more efficient. But we will still keep the canards on there too. So that the smaller narrow wing helps to get the air over them.

Also stability of the car has always been very good and has not changed since we changed the body from the 2007 design.

Any more suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks

Luke
