Interesting read. I wish he'd gone into more detail about the different configurations tested and results of specific items such as air dam vs none etc.

From memory, there was a more detailed discussion on MT.net at the time, but I don't remember it had that sort of detail.

A lot of build up to a rather fast and disappointing end? Still super interesting and definitely worth the read, but then it just ended.
