Caramba, slimjim, if I had kept the "Member of the week" thread alive, you certainly would had earned the distinction. Better yet, "Member of the year".
55% of drag is a lot, a lot, a lot. I guess slimjim should be made honorary member of the team. I would add a decal with his name, if the shape he suggest were adopted...
Thanks for the video, GPDR, nice.
Is the diameter of the wheels regulated? I would go for a car as long and as low as possible (taking in account the extra weight you get for departing from a "spherical chassis" which I think would be the lightest), those wheels are really high.
