***An Arodynamic Noble***

[Twerlie]

After allot of deliberation, wind tunnel testing and money; Adrian has finally finished his project to make his Noble handle those 600 raging horses that used to make his p&j pirouette in a straight line...

Below are a few pictures we took 'just' in time, as the sun was setting so some are a bit dark and rushed, but you will get the idea until Mr Winch comes along to explain more!



































well done mate, can't wait to see it on a track now! - have to say it looks very much like the Gumpert Apollo from behind!?!

edited to say sorry for the low rez pics....but i cannot host pictures bigger than 250kb!

Nice,

Adrian,

What does the lip on the front clamp infront of the rad cooling do. I suspect its to deflect the air over the roof?

its makes more front downforce, but takes a bit from the rear wing, effectively you can adjust the aero balance of the car with it.

[NobleGuy]

Have you found the car to be a bit of a handful up to now then?
Not bloomin' surprised with that kind of power .

I got spinning wheels in 4th this morning with my standard fare.

[Mr Noble]

I think I like it ......................

[Conian]

I like Nobles (never driven one, I just admire them from afar)
I like THAT Noble!

Instant rabies upon anyone who quotes the OP and makes it take 45 mins to scroll down to the bottom of each page on this thread.

Very nice indeed Adrian. Did you do any testing with a modified rear wing? Our friends in the states have the storm trooper, which, (they say) improves the rear end downforce as it has an elevated section in the middle and as such, the whole wing section is in the air.

There is stuff that i cant publish on here because of the race car, but i can say that the rear of the car produces easily enough downforce compared to the front of the car.

ohhhhhh yeah !
Looks kinda cool with the bare carbon, but I reckon it would look proper sleek with it all body coloured

What he said

I have the louves and canards sitting in front of me now, due to go in soon when I get the front clam done, was going for the raw carbon, now not sure...can anyone photoshop them body colour?

I was just having a go but not much luck! I think the louvers would look cool blended in and painted body colour! Just always seems a shame to paint carbon!

I know this is my problem, think they would look good blended and painted in, but also think they look quite cool as Adrians. What to do .

Blended.

[Twerlie]

This is the best i can do with Microsoft Paint!



give you an idea though!?

I defo think the louvres would look better P38'd in and painted. All other bits leave as the lovely carbon but IMO the louvres in carbon look like a bit of a hack job and you can see the cut lines etc, much nicer smoothed in to look like they were originally part of the body.

Can they be made in a plastic any cheaper??
