So, a car built to no rules based around a retarded concept is slow. Wow."Where can we get hold of a Vincent Black Shadow?" "Whats that?" "A fantastic bike," I said. "The new model is something like two thousand cubic inches, developing two hundred brake-horsepower at four thousand revolutions per minute on a magnesium frame with two styrofoam seats and a total curb weight of exactly two hundred pounds."Comment

i think it has 87% rear weight bias
in that regard you can throw out all conventional suspension thinkingOriginally posted by boxxxComment

end goal?

any more info on qualifying times and/or write-ups?
Regardless of whether someone thinks the design is good/bad, its a shame it did so poorlyComment

so are they using brake-steer to get this thing to turn then?
surely 87% rear bias would need this. unless they are planning on doing all the turning under massive braking to load the front tyres up, which sounds very unconventional/bad.Oo___oO

theres vids on youtube
it actually drives pretty normally
also apparently its built on an Aston Martin Prodrive chassis... strangeOriginally posted by boxxxComment

Its a Aston/Prodrive tub. Hence why there is an offset driver position. They did this to save on development costs so they could concentrate on other design issues.Originally posted by T0nyGTSt View Post
There are quite a few cars in this year's race that started off as an Aston chassis."If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough horsepower." - Mark Donahue Penske Porsche 917

29th out of 56ish entries isnt too bad i reckon. and its a brand new car, and something far from normal.. so you cant expect miracles.
im not saying its gonna work, or not work.. but give the poor fuckers a chance at developmentOriginally posted by RdynoOriginally posted by TripperComment

They ran into problems with qualifying and weren't allowed to go back out. 29th ain't bad, this thing isn't going for the outright win.
