Re: Rf 117

Thanks for the comments, its interesting that most comments relate to the effect the front air dam will have on the cooling system, once again we have done as much theoretical work as is sensible but until we get it out on the track is is all just "hot air" (sorry for the pun). I confess I was expecting a fairly serious backlash for having 'ucked around with the

We do have a ducting system that seals against the radiator and snorkel which can be altered to accomodate a single snorkel if required. The radiator was sized to cope with the expected HP, water pump flow rates, head pressure etc etc and the volume / pressure of air we expect at the front of the car.

Peter, the info from the Corvette experience seems to line up with the general direction we have taken with the aerodynamics on the car, I would love to be able to vent the wheel arches but this is a complete "no no" in our rule book,
