Ya wow. So I assume that skirt is designed to tunnel the air out from under the car rather then tunnel it out the back? Would be interested in those fenders too.

Front fender is Voltex with Cyber version extension. The rear flares are Clinched generic 70mm flares that fit pretty well.

Large rear wing is large - because necessary to balance the car. Per Andrew's data we are on the verge of needing a triple element wing in the rear. ��

even cars with full tunnels use that style skirt extension behind the front wheels. I can't comment on the exact theory behind it, because I don't know for sure. I do know it's there to keep the air from going where it's not wanted, and help it get to where it is wanted.

Wasn't commenting in a bad way, I know its not a bunch of catalog parts you just tossed together. Whole whole setup looks great

I didn't take it that way. No worries. Just sharing the relative scale of how much DF Andrews designs are making in the front to necessitate such large wings.

The wing anyone can purchase. The rest of the package is a 1-off design for my application. But almost anything can be bought for the right amount of $$ ;-)

The wing may be readily available, but I'm sure AWB either told you to get it, or the downforce it is capable of was taken into consideration when designing everything else, so everything works as a package.


Man. It would be so cool to have my car at point (and my finances LOL) to go through with a custom aero package like this.

No. you could build my exact package for less than half of what that costs. And make more down force, and have less drag.

I quit racing for five years while I was rebuilding the car from the ground up. I never could have done it while still racing.
