| Here's a few pictures on my new wing for the 240. Its being made right now by Kognition Designs in California. He started only making these for 240's but is now building them for many of the top ranked Time attack teams. He was recently signed up to make the aero for Chris Rado next year on the new AWD TA car. This is a track oriented purpose built wing, lots of downforce. The first wing snapped the ends off due to the large amount of downforce. He had to add the supports seen on the uprights as well as 30% more carbon fiiber. It will be dry carbon with aluminum uprights and end plates. The mold Test wing out of the mold, no clear coat needed! The uprights and carbon fiber ribs. The wing will be adjustable from 14-18 degrees in 1/2 increments to take out the guess work at the track. The uprights with the reinforcements TIG welded on. Mike from Double Down Motorsports tested the wing at the Redline Time attack customer appreciation day and said it was amazing the amount of downforce he had, now he as well as myself need to get to work on a front splitter. The early version of this wing lead PTtuning and Harmon Motive to a lot of 1st places this year. I can't wait to get mine. Mine will be on the larger side of the rules for Redline Time attack. Hopefully next year I can get to Miller motorsports park and it should be fun for Lewistown as well. | |
