So is that not used as it goes against most Motorsport rules?

What i would be interested in learning a bit about is aero balance when changing direction, that gets fascinating


yeah i think that is the holy grail right, making the air keep attached the you are turning a corner. i believe the technical term is witchcraft.

I love the simplicity of the car.

They just went, well we need a huge wing on both ends and a monster car length diffuser, and 600hp, easy.

Thats my style of thinking :)

BRB, going to miataturbo to bring back inspiration photos.

Just think that sits a little too high.... getting under the car aero happening and nice and low seems to get things happening more than big wings.
