Marlin Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 That wing mount is totally mint! The rear-most currently unused mounting holes, are they for additional support if required, or for mounting a low type drag racing spoiler?!

blur Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Sure is great having an engineering firm involved heavily in the build when it comes to pieces like the wing mount. Danny from A.D.E has done a great job designing and getting the mount made is such a limited time frame. The upper element is supported via turnbuckles in the center to eliminate the wing flexing down in the middle. Truely is a work of art. The whole car is really. Edit, added pic.

Martin HKS Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Sure is. Should be arriving in Sydney today. Didn't end up with sign writing and it's not been tested so will see how it's first shakedown run is on Thursday at the track. Good luck to all involved.

Martin HKS Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Thanks Richard. I'll let the boys know. Mind you it looks very menacing with widebody carbon only.......... Here's hoping with over 600kw (800hp) at the wheels the carbon doesn't start flying off it down the straight. It has plenty of power down low (2200rpm) and even more through the top end. Just have to see how much speed the aero takes away. We know there is no chance of winning the event until it has some more development but it will be good to see what it's like against the Mercury car.
