Ferrari 360 Aerodynamic development

[fivebob]

Just uploaded an article that I found which discusses the aerodynamic development of the F360, mainly the suspension considerations, but it makes for interesting reading none the less

now back to aerodynamics im sure i saw someone a while ago who reckoned they had some aero info on the aw11.... anyone seen that?

Nothing really to do with the aerodynamics... but a little MR2 history:

Best bit: "Toyota says that the MR in MR2 stand for Midship runabout, while the bird found on the car (some jokingly referring to it as a screaming chicken) represents "aerodynamic beauty through evolution"

Read an article in a race car engineering mag that talked about a Integra R DC5 team that wind tunnel tested their car. By taping over and closing the gaps on the front on the car between bumper and body etc, they got an extra 6mph top speed, and thats allot when it comes to a controlled class.

i seem to remember reading somehwere that the sw20 and st18x celicas were the first cars toyota started using windtunnel research for?

I just felt like doing it myself! A lot of people asked me how I did the back "Um. Heard of mirrors?"
