I'm not doubting that but who said I'm going to run it at 15 degrees? I'm going to run it at 0 angle and tune from there...

You need to stop comparing everything on earth to a radical, it isn't the gold standard of racing that you think it is...

 

Im just saying that the wing can not produce 1000lbs of df... even at 15 degrees. If the radical bi-plane wing can't produce it, the APR won't. I don't think the radical is gold; i wish we had a Norma M20 or other race cars; theres design flaws in the radical i wish we could change. But i'll compare it to a champcar. champcar produces upto about 5000 lbs. of downforce at 200mph. half of that produced by the ground effects( 2500) and the other half produced by front and rear wing (1250/1250). So ur simple single element rear wing (even at full tilt) produces nearly as much as a champcar 3 plane rear wing?

 

Don't forget about the mad-horsepower that wing adds, yo!

 

You mean you guys didn't know Alex has a sponsor who gave him that wing...






RICE-O-RONI




























i keed i keed but seriously I've held that wing and I think the box it comes in weighs more than the wing. That is going to look sick

 

i dont think he really cares how it looks aslong as it functions. Its a race car its meant 2 be function over form. for the progress.

 

...so when is the long awaited debut?

 

I heard this thing on Friday. OMG!!!... it sounds competely BADASS!!!!

I can't wait to see this thing at the track. PENROD, I think what Alex is shooting for is to have the debut at the Homestead Chin event July 20-21.

 

Correcto

 

Alex take it to the Super Meet!!!!! In a trailer or borrow a tag.
