For example, wheelbase affects laptime, longer wheelbase = slower round certain corners ... E.g : Monaco hairpin, so we want to isolate pure aero data to affect laptime

Well this is 2 hours work

mainly due to the fact i am the most ridiculously slow designer on planet earth, it should comply with all regulations now i think, then again i may have said that around half a dozen times now so..

I included sabalcores logo as it is nice of them to sponsor the challenge
