another fag?

 

Nice!

 

Pretty bold statement I'd say. At minimum, the wing is as functional as a static wing. It's gone through some testing at Thunder Hill:

Lots of debate about it. It seems like a cool concept to me, but very few places where it's actually legal.

 

[QUOTE=TriaXenginE,Oct 9 2008, 09:07 PM]Yeah, as an avid fan of formula 1, i'm well aware of how aero plays a part in motorsports.

Oh and guest #87261, thanks for your input, we'll call you when we need you.

 

edit: Vic is THE man.

 

so your opinion is worth more since you ponied up the money to join?
or maybe mine is worth a little bit too (degree in aeronautical engineering).

the only reason this isn't showing up in high level racing is because movable aero devices are specifically banned. it is an extremely interesting new technology and i am sure it will show up more and more (maybe soon if F1's engine development ban stays). it is already in production vehicles, the veyron's rear wing inclines to act as an airbrake under hard deceleration. i am willing to bet that after the KERS is in place movable aero will be next.

 

Look at the JDM supra, the front lip moves with your speed for more down force!!!

Some Porsches' wings lift as speed rises...

thanks for the correction. i thought u were just another one of those f1 groupies. but i guess u are just a fag from the Kili islands - harmless and yet still quite dumb.

 

Yup, in F1 and I'm sure most other motorsports active aerodyamics and suspension are not allowed. They work too damn good to be allowed. I don't know anything about the wing at hand but reality is, active aerodynamics can help a hell of a lot. Far from useless.

Hope this doesn't make me a fag.
