Pretty much a rhetorical question but it would be helpful to confirm I am not completely crazy.

Yes Downforce is negative Lift but AC already does this and calls it DOWNF
Also notice the lift to drag ratio of the REAR wing 1:12 !!!!!  An entire Formula style race car typically has a L to D ratio of 3:1 so each individual wing element must be a lot higher than that, and definitely not the reverse as in this case?


What I have done is flipped to wings the right way up, and added BODY Lift to pretty much cancel the Downforce, as these cars would have struggled to reach Net Downforce, and set the REAR wings L to D ratio to 1:1, and added back the lost drag to the BODY.

Could you put up a link of the corrected aero for the car so I can do a comparison of what it feels like to drive?

Will do. But I guess because Bazza hasn't  done any cars with net downforce this has never been noticed. In the end you may not even notice the difference as the lift figures are only in single digits anyway, so less affect on handling than taking the Cat to the Vet.

Could it be that he used negative wings instead of body lift to get the same/desired result?

That's what I thought at first, but the changes with pitch are also backwards, so it doesn't work.

Latest thinking is to go with three cars only, the three Gr 4 cars with wings, BMW, Ford, and Nissan.


The Pantera is a 'proper' mod, at least model wise, and deserves its own season.
A pity to lose the big Jag but I couldn't find a sound that suited it anyway.


I can do bespoke aero for three cars without needing to pull my hair out.

No, but then again if I applied the same standards to my own work it would fail the test also.(just in other areas) :-[

I acquiesce, we can go with the mod as is. Any car that any member finds too flawed to drive can just be nixed.

R6: Dec 14, Silverstone 1967, 7 laps + 20 laps


To add:


Aosta, layout TBD, there are plenty to choose from some better for racing than others
Mosport, two versions of this we'll need to see which one is the best.
Riverside, layout TBD
Ahvenisto, two versions of this as well, but I think we should go with Sergio Loro's
Mont-Tremblant/Saint Jovite, layout TBD
Silverstone '67, push oy own boat, let's use the Club layout.


My choices for the above to follow.

Did you paste this text from somewhere else? It has markup like "font=segoe UI size=3px" in it.
