Octagon, that is really cool info. Thanks for the free tech tip!!

Team RMR, how soon will the interviews be? If you ever want to open up a NorCal shop, I know 3 people who are willing to sweep the floors just to have a job with the team!

Okay, which part in particular confuses you? If it's the wing setup, here's a good close-up of the wing mounts. You can see the pneumatic air strut in the back.



Here you can see the air strut connected to the rear axle. When the wing is depressed, it places all the downforce on the rear axle (instead of the bodywork where its force would be wasted on the suspension).



However, the connection to the axle is at the trailing arm/jacob's ladder union. The intended effect is to raise the frame on the suspension. As you can see in the picture, the suspension is right in front of the rear tail tank wings. This, naturally, means for fairly ineffective wings when the car's suspension is in its natural state (resting angle). However, when the suspension droops, it's out of the way of the wings and they can function cleanly.


Now, the (equally planned) effect of this is that it creates a natural weight transfer. Under acceleration, where the wing is flattening out, weight is actually being jacked forward keeping the steering from going light and darty on the driver (and taking stress off of the all important right rear tire). Under deceleration, the tail is slapped onto the ground, planting the tires so that the car doesn't get squirrelly and want to swap ends and also giving the rear tires that added bite.

Basically, the rear suspension of the car is designed to offset front to rear weight transfer, and it uses the movement of the top wing to manage the transfer amount.

ahh i see. thanks
