I'm from Germany and let me tell you shit doesn't improve north of 100mph - with impacts on the neck that is, visors just fly shut anyways and I've never been quite stupid enough to do those speeds in the rain or with an open-face. Sometimes you hit a little patch of rain when going higher speeds though and that really hurts. A friend of mine once hit a fly or a bee or something on his naked neck going about 230km/h (~140mph). He got a nice little, bloody bruise to show for it the following couple of weeks.

@l8rn3rds 6 жыл бұрын

honestly all he needs is window panels, roof, and a formula 1-style front wing to deflect wind off of the wheels and that frame rail and he'll be golden. maybe a suuuper mild rear wing to counteract the front wing and keep weight on the rear tires. thats like 3 days of fab work and plexi work

@l8rn3rds 6 жыл бұрын

Nerdy, Retro, Gaming - a wing wouldn't do anything for traction off the line because he won't be going fast enough for aero to matter in the 60 foot but if he puts a wing on the front he'll need something to put more down force on the back wheels so he doesn't spin his tires at the top end. Like one of those drag wings that lay flat but extend the length where the air passing over drops back to the ground. If he puts one off the back of the roof it wouldn't add much drag but it would keep air from dropping in front of the chute

@katieadams5860 6 жыл бұрын

Drag has relatively little to do with how the wind hits your car but more so to do with how it leaves your car. The bigger and stronger the area of low air density behind the car, the more drag you create. You can have the most aerodynamic front end in the world, but if the rear is as flat as the back end of a transit van, you'll have massive drag.

@WhatnotSoforth 5 жыл бұрын

Yup, that's why they picked up drag when they did the cardboard nose, it just let the air go over that much easier to make an even bigger bubble in the rear! They just need to close off the cockpit, especially the for roof, and add some fairing coming down over the rear bars and it would cut down drag immensely. And hey, their parachute might even deploy on time!

Well. Yes and no. This car has a lot of “holes” which create turbulence. Even with the car in its current shape, if it was one solid enclosed space it would do much better.

Then the shape would be next

Tommy Baker I know, bro! I was just kiddin' about the aero. Of course it's very important and crucial at this point if he wants to touch the 7s

This was cool! I just posted a video of being in the same tunnel with a BMW set up for road racing. We were in the 1.4 L/D range but were trying to make downforce. Pretty cool seeing these numbers for a car set up differently.

You should look into doing a flat tray bottom for the car! There are a ton of huge benefits to engineering a proper flat bottom/diffuser for drag and downforce.

You need a panel to go from the hoop behind the driver's head to cover the fuel cell and parachute area. Make Leroy into a fastback! Combine that with a flat underbody and diffuser, and you may see 7s yet... Without totally ruining Leroy's savage looks.

It's easiest to remember that aerodynamics is defined as "how well you put the air back together after you have split it" so look up Kamm tails and see if there is a clue to better drag! :-)

Awesome to see your car is double the drag, also interesting to see you have a lot of good downforce helping with traction, would be neat to see a removable nose cone or something, probably easier to install some 80mm’s and keep pushing through

@wardE0 6 жыл бұрын

I think if you panel the bottom flat with the defuser you could lower your drag/and increase your downforce. I believe that 7° is the most rake you can get down there before the air detaches. (Could be wrong)

I think that the lower door panels and roof in combination with some small panels on the side of the wind shield that can deflect air away from entering the cabin would make a huge difference. Then it would act less like a parachute. Another thing that you didn't test was putting panels on the back of the car. Just putting panels between all the bars in the back (with a hatch so you still can access the stuff ofc) would mean that the air will leave the car more smoothly.

@ameirwoods6468 5 жыл бұрын

Super informative vid. Aerodynamics play big when doing the big numbers. Remember kyle picked up some mph with the rear bumper removal on the hatch? Cant wait to see leeroy with some skin and a higher trap speed. Thumbs up broski!
