Looks like The Ridge. Great track, but sucks for viewing.

Got a few new picks from an SCCA event in Saint Louis, MO at Gateway Motorsports Park.

I made some friends yesterday. Instructed for an OR autox club that hosted a trackday and went out with these two beasts during one of my play sessions. Voodoo motor = glorious sounds!

Awesome way to burn a vacation day!!

Do you feel like that wing provides any downforce?

Do you feel like that wing provides any downforce?

On my test track, Gateway Motorsport Park, the only data I have is 220 laps without the wing and 65 with the wing. Without the wing I was running a 1:12.xx in traffic and with the wing I ran consistent groups of 1:11.xx in traffic and a golden lap of 1:10.76 on NT-01s.

I think my current setup has a 1:09.5 in it as my virtual best lap is a 1:09.84 and I have never pushed the car or driver to the limit as the track is not a forgiving track and nearly all incidents would end very badly for the car there. I also think that if the car was on R7s it could drop another 1 to 1.5 seconds there.

This is on a very short track 1.76 miles with a long roval and straight were the wing could have hurt me a bit, but still the car is 1.5 to 1.75 sec a lap quicker with the wing on that track. On tracks like NCM, Putnam Park or Road Atlanta I have a feeling it will be even greater gains, it just depends on how much it hurts me on the longer straights, and higher speed tracks.

I can tell you that I was running just the front splitter and the car had a very slight tendency to over-steer on corner exit if you got on the power to fast, once I added the wing the behavior of the car has changed to a very slight push on mid-speed corners but it is cured with the throttle very easily and I can use more throttle on corner exit. That is where all the time came from according to the data, I am on the throttle sooner with the wing.

There is little question the G-Stream wing or one like it will out perform the GT350R wing, but for the size front splitter and setup I am running it seems to be a good balance. we will see once I add the vented hood and rear undertray if I can maintain the balance.

This information is incredible! Thanks for taking the time to type that whole reply.

I'm considering many things in my "build" and downforce is one. But I also hate to spend money especially if there is no benefit to track times.

Interested more in your car also, what cage is that? Never mind won't clutter this thread, I will PM you tomorrow.

Thanks again.

What splitter are you running? Does it still maintain the functionality of the factory PP brake ducts build into the front tray?

I see fog light brake ducts...

I have answered your question about my setup in another thread to keep this one on topic.

Great meeting you too. Looking forward to the pictures, I need one for my license plate frame that I bought and realized would cover NJ....:frusty:.
Let me know when you start up next year.
