Race Car Build Up

This site has a detailed build up of a Nissan Sentra race car.

I follows the car from completely stock to full blown track weapon covering mods such as safety, suspension, engine, aerodynamics etc.

Its a very interesing read and most if not all theorys put into practice can be applied to FWD or RWD track cars

damn you...

since clicking on that link this morning, I've been glued to it and got nothing done.

The aerodynamics bits are really quite interesting.


I'd love to see their budget. :)

Yeah very interesting article & explains a few things that i'd wondered about in the past.

I love the sticker thing, looks really good, but definately a job i'd pay someone else to do, i'm not patient enough for all that fidly stuff
