| Re: Lola GT Mk6, the \'Ring, Le Mans, Aerodynamics
As usual Andre, a great yarn. Makes me all that much more excited about my planed 2004 trip to LeMans.
The "David Hodges" book suggests (although it doesn't actually spell it out) that the GT40 was the first race car to use a rear spoiler to cure the lift problems. Can anyone confirm or othewise? Some interesting comments by Ford personel at the time, comparing it to the tail feathers of an arrow, shows exactly how little they understood its function.
(Here here, to Andre's comment about a peacful solution). |
