It was a road car till this year. Having no fun at all to drive this in traffic or holy roads, I decided to use it as a track toy only this year.

@ RobNA With the lack of external power cut off/ extinguishers and roll cage I would think the car would never pass race regs. Can we have some more pics of the front splitter Gilles? It looks great.

I only miss the FIA roll cage, but nothing to race against here in Europe, except adding the weight to reach the usual 1100kg minimum... so about 300kg of lest.
@Steve : The splitter is not perfect but that's my first one.

Do you intend to direct the airflow underneath the splitter as per the Badster Evo one in any revision?

No, I studied the endurance world, so my splitter comes more from that :

No idea if it's any efficient before testing. I am looking for a balance between rear and front so it will need 'upgrades'.

Badster on is the same just upside down in that pic. It directs airflow into the arches to be vented out of the top with their lourvres.

But on the prototypes, it is absolutely perfectly flat... I just used the sides lower compared to the middle, to accelerate the air towards the difusor. Will see if any gain.

It's NEVER perfect. I am driving Ohlins 2 ways, but the weight of the car makes a lot in the shock response efficiency...

The car is more stable on brakes and allow late braking action. Top speed decreased by somehow 5-8 km/h.
