Le Mans Prototypes are basically ground aircraft.
Ignoring the Mercedes-Benz CLR, of course.
Honestly, I can only imagine what’s going to happen if movable aero is ever allowed at the top end of motorsport. Think something like the McMurtry Speirling (https://youtu.be/tHIbvYWhaxA?t=999 https://youtu.be/tHIbvYWhaxA?t=999), but as if it was put through some madman’s Kerbal Space Program fever dream.
Granted, I think the memory of June 11th, 1955 will keep it from ever happening.
- sokoloff 3y agoThe McMurtry Goodwood performance is also impressive. Even the straight-line launch is eye-popping: https://youtu.be/xtvT2XYlcOY?t=46 https://youtu.be/xtvT2XYlcOY?t=46 It shattered the previous record that had stood for 23 years.
- delta_p_delta_x 3y ago>movable aero is ever allowed at the top end of motorsport It's not much, but F1 has the drag reduction system, or DRS, where the rear wing opens up, and gives cars up to 16 km/h additional speed. Not that this year's Red Bulls need it anyway, they're so fast...
