i see. we're allowed 20 minutes session for TT but i only usually only do a couple laps until i catch up to back end of traffic and just come in. if it's a new track and i need the practice, then i stay out entire session.

For those that are blocking off the front, are you doing anything different with the oil cooler?

i run dtc60's, ATE type200/superblue, and racing brake stainless pistons. dont expect any issues on street tires for 5 laps or less at a time.
In South Florida, ambiant is always 85+ most of the year, 95+ in summer and its always humid. So i get heat issues every event. LOL. At Road Atlanta I didnt have an issue. It was warm but not humid.

yes, if you look closely to the left (pass side) of the mitsu logo in the grill of my car you can just barely make out the oil cooler.

yeah thats understandable. Luckily i very rarely have to deal with temps that high. I also forgot to mention i run racing brake stainless pistons too, which i think help a great deal.

Installed the Kognition chassis mount today. This is my first 2d wing, what kinda angle do I set it at?

Does kognition still have the charts on their website?

Edit - I don't see them posted. Pretty sure I have it saved on my comp at work.

Doesn't need much angle to overpower the front of the car

That's some serious down force out of that thing.

thats the one!

on our GT1000 we started around 10deg and tweak it up from there to make the car more planted. iirc we're at 18deg now

What's the angle of the air coming off the back window? I'm trying to set my wing up and I know that plays into it.

The dual element is a bit tricky too since a main element angle change effects end plates and if those are adjusted level then second element moves. So would be nice to get it close to start with.

we mounted ours above the roofline so to get it mostly into clean air.

you're on a gt1000 correct?

Looking at this:

It seems like if the wing is high enough the angle of air isn't too severe. Maybe a couple degrees?

If that's the elements Ciro uses, then yes

What's interesting is that there isn't a ton of separation down the back window. I think the vortex generator white paper may have had some pictures but I can't recall. I also may have seen something from AMB and/or APR.

What I'd really love is to get a hold of some damn front canards. But it seems really no one makes them.
