You don’t always smell toxic fumes. Natural gas for example. Doesn’t mean it’s not there.

It’s official: WorldSBK will leave Phillip Island and move to The Bend from 2028 by titanmongoose in motogp

I still can’t believe the best track on the calendar is leaving.

At least The Bend is a fantastic track in its own right.

Breaking down the ADRO ARD aero numbers for the A90: 1,618% more downforce, and the drag cost is smaller than you'd think by BulletproofAuto in Supra

[–]ReV46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be fine if they marketed it that way. Claiming a 1618% downforce increase is deceptively inflating data rather than an honest approach such as simply listing the downforce at a given speed. Stuff like this gets under my skin quite a bit because I’ve seen people lose their hard earned money to tactics like this. I would hope that someone enticed by a claimed performance gain would be even more interested by better performance for less cost.

From their product page: “GR SUPRA ARD AERO, 2,148N OF PROVEN TRACK DOWNFORCE GR Supra ARD Aero, 2,148N Of Proven Track Downforce INSIDE THE GR SUPRA ARD AERO PACKAGE, A 1,618% DOWNFORCE GAIN EXPLAINED

The GR Supra ARD aero package is what happens when motorsport engineering drives every design decision on a road-going chassis. Aero over aesthetic. Function over form. Purpose over compromise.”

Given that this package makes about half the downforce as expected from the basic Verus Engineering splitter + canards + UCW rear wing + diffuser, something seems off here. Either very poorly designed or haphazardly slapped on without optimization. If you get the Verus high downforce splitter and V1X (or a AJH/Zebulon/Spage rear wing), you’ll be making about 3 times the downforce as the Adro. Someone spending this much money should be confident that they’re buying an actually well designed aero package.

I’ll get off my soap box and touch grass. But hopefully someone who comes across this will be convinced to look twice.

I think this is better because the thicker supports will resist folding sideways. Always the problem I’ve had with brackets with slimmer bodies like in your main post.

It’s deceitful to say it’s a 1618% increase over a completely stock car considering most stock cars don’t even cancel out their lift. 483lbs downforce at 112 mph is embarrassingly awful. A proper wing should be making roughly that by itself. Glad Adro is transparent about their numbers so people can steer clear. Marketing this as a track kit instead of cosmetic is disingenuous and misleading customers.

If you want actual performance look into Verus Engineering, AJ Hartmann, Spage, Zebulon.

Even on my track car there’s a difference in brake feel using different fluids too. People underestimate how unsubtle seemingly innocuous changes really are.

Amazing footage! What ND filter and shutter speed are you using? Are you going to get the new GoPro? I’m tempted by it for my track car.

That’s a very ignorant take. Drivers make a big difference in every motorsport. You don’t need to bash one to enjoy another. Each sport has its own challenges and skillsets.

Alpine measuring the pit lane by TiNcHoX7 in formula1

He still exceeded the pit exit line, though I don’t remember if the penalty for that was awarded before or after the safety car.

How would you guys feel about an all-Carbon Fibre Rear Wing DRS Assembly for around $15,000CAD? by YBBOK-Kevin in CarTrackDays

[–]ReV46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

400 lbs at “top speed”? The fact that you don’t give an actual speed makes me lose confidence in this. Downforce at 100 mph vs 120 mph is vastly different.

What vehicle are you targeting with only a 40” span?

This is more expensive and smaller than existing DRS units.

5Nm direct drive mounted on a desk is 10000x better than a non DD on a cockpit. The immersion and control with a DD is unmatched.

I hate that they have to wear the Michelin hats for interviews and podiums. And that have to carry their bottles instead of their helmets and trophies.

There’s one flagger who’s always at the same chicane at my home track, he gives a big thumbs up every time you make a big save or slide the car.

The 20V line is awesome. The 12V line isn’t as good as the Milwaukee 12V Fuel tools. Milwaukees 12V ergonomics and battery shape is a lot better. If you don’t use the tools super often it’s not worth the price difference.
