I'm still not sure about the front air dam arrangement, but I'll admit I know next to nothing when it comes to aero
Looking forward to hearing how it goes at PI.

Looks good Dave, I'm impressed at how quick you get things done on your projects.

Re: Lightyear's Black endurance racer
Did you spray that in a booth or your garage?

Looks awesome. Especially love the side on shot...
What rate front springs are you running to keep that splitter off the deck under braking/cornering?

Re: Lightyear's Black endurance racer
I sprayed it in my booth.
The springs are just road springs for now. I am expecting some rubbing with the 6 and 8kg springs. But that's all I have ever run in all my cars. Brendans are about double that.

That's not a car - it's a wing with a small car attached.
