In the last episode, we put on some drag reducing, body widening parts. In this episode, we're going to make better use of those parts and add MORE DOWNFORCE. I'm maximizing the rulebook for my time attack class to produce as much downforce as possible on my little civic.

@Vittinable 3 года назад

Very good and simple aero package. The only thing I'd add is actually tape where the air dam meets the splitter. If there is even the smallest of gaps there the air flows thru it and lowers the pressure slightly over the splitter (also added drag). If you need more rear downforce but just a bit, not a big chunk, look into putting bigger endplates on your wing and a gurney flap, it'll make a noticeable different for very little money.

Makes sense, though. If you need to add ballast because you're underweight, you can place the added weight wherever it's best for weight distribution.

How much easier is it for people to learn and get better with outside input? Then imagine a world where you couldn’t give or take advice, that has some George Orwell vibes. Constructive criticism is real, as is learning and education. Seriously no offence, and no offence to you too. Everyone is wound so tight with being PC when it’s just conversation.

@Ch28Kid 3 года назад

I love aerodynamic. I think the next thing is a clean flat floor like “f1” to minimized turbulence and a functional diffuser to channel the air for a tighter / clean package. Like most hatch, the area between the glass and near bumper generates a lot of weird vortices, so cleaning that would be the last thing I would do. As a engineer, the hardest thing is ‘side skirt” and keeping air on the bottom package as smooth as possible. If you want to go a bit further, you can find the cheapest way to scan your car as a model and run basic fluid dynamics simulation on any modern 3D software. It’s a lot cheaper than a wind tunnel. Good luck!

@DrinkTan 3 года назад

Great job on the aero bits. I'm sure Mike has mentioned this to you but you will also need a vent/heat extractor on the hood. It not only reduces under hood temperature but also let's out the air coming in from the radiator vent and reduce lift. If the class you are competing in doesn't allow it then ignore my advise.

@jihadjoe 3 года назад

The extra bracing probably helps since it's weight that's mounted so low. Remember how Penske's Mustangs in 2018/2019 intentionally used heavy steel for their exhaust coz it put a LOT of mass low on the car? That's the sort of stuff you can do instead of addding ballast when your car is under weight!

Porsches are surprisingly bad at the track because they are no where near setup enough to be competitive you need to get new suspension, drop it closer to the ground , make the coilovers stiff af you need strut braces and chassis stiffeners and you should probably run a smaller rim size for the track all they have is speed and they’re only setup for being a straight line car a beginner would possibly be faster in a Honda Civic then a Porsche if the civic is modified because they’re usually more used to a fwd car
