Has anyone researched the downforce contributed by canards? Unless the benefits are great (and even then track time v road time is worth feeding into the equation) I think they spoil the purity of the original shape. Fran, do you have any torsional rigidity figures for your monocoque? Proper figures, not like CAV's bolt one end rigid etc etc. I am talking to Chris in the UK and look forward to the arrival of his demo car

Grow old disgracefully
