I was wondering if that was due to the down force on the deck lid they were trying to create?The Radius Kid wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2017 12:57 amExactly Bill.It looks like the air is reversing back up the glass to try and fill the void.
To be honest Gary,the main thing i was focusing on was the back window part.GARY C wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2017 1:29 amI was wondering if that was due to the down force on the deck lid they were trying to create?The Radius Kid wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2017 12:57 amExactly Bill.It looks like the air is reversing back up the glass to try and fill the void.
I also noticed the front end sits way in the air and wondered if it drops at speed due to down force?
If so I don't think they are getting correct readings without pulling the car down to ride height.
I wonder what would happen if vortex generators were attached to the roof in front of the rear screen? Would the flow stay more attached on the screen and not reverseThe Radius Kid wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2017 12:57 amExactly Bill.It looks like the air is reversing back up the glass to try and fill the void.
Yes, either like those or the OEM Evo style : https://www.maperformance.com/products/ ... mz380295exMadBill wrote: ↑Fri Oct 20, 2017 9:30 amLike these? http://www.airtab.com/
I'll see if I can dig up the pix, but I fitted them along the back of the roof of a road race Merkur, initially on only one half, and put blobs of hand cleaner down the glass. The half with the tabs smeared the blobs down the slope; the other did not, clearing indicating that they 'steered' the air down the deck. At the time we didn't have the car well enough sorted to know if they helped and when it was repainted they were discarded..![]()
