Chris

when i next have a test day i will be having a go at the wool test, tape a lot of 2 inch long bits of wool over the car and drive it a differant speeds with somone taking photos of it.
cheap windtunnel :)
going to be trying to make the bottom of the car as flat as poss this year with a defuser running from the rear axle line to about 5 inchs behind the rear panel.also going to be making some deep side skirts with a kick up at the rear to try and remove the sharpe jion between the rear 1/4 and the rear wing, might also help in dirrecting air to the rear wing.
main thing to aim at is stopping as much air as you can from going under the car, front and side, and giving it the smoothest route out. heance the rear defuser.
cheers rob

this kit is just released. Tamiya is notorious for their detail. Linky Linky
I really am going to get one soon!

Hey guys sorry for the late update.
Im really sorry to anounce that the test was not run due to increased work load at the wind tunnel by other students that needed it for their dissertation projects. Dont be devastated. I have been working on a 3d model that i can always finish to my desired level of detail and test using CFD.

The lexan model will be finished when i go back home and will probably be tested using some kind of premature techniques...

Orbitron thanx for the link. im going to get this lexan with all of the accessories as well.
The point is that im trying to replicate all the inner fenders and underfloor shape to a high level of detail which is veeeryy time consuming...

Sorry again for letting you down guys.

Cheers

Chris
