good to have the Zed b(L)ack :p, and I thought I continue with making the rocket bunny full again so I have given the front splitter a good clean and reattached it to the car

next stop is the rear diffuser ;)

What's he going for on the rear?  I take it there's some sort of spoiler going on...

Only asking as rocket bunny don't even have splitter. 

 

Also the guys in that video seems a off, basically says don't use aero to get air to your wheels (brakes) quite sure a few race cars use this. Maybe hes @*!# at presenting and didn't get his point across 

 

Or comes across f1 aero logic applys to all cars

That blue one has a front splitter and it is the official RB one, though I think we can all agree the RB kit is very much form over function. 

 

I think his point about air to wheels was that you should use aero other than the diffuser to achieve it, not that you shouldn't do it at all.

 

Aerodynamic principles are the same for every car, but the design has to change massively depending on the application and regulations.

 

Taking his FSAE example, those guys spend years tuning their aero (CFD, lapsim, wind tunnel) and some work closely with the likes of Porsche, so they know what they are doing. The important point though was that FSAE is pretty much unrestricted, the rules only really limit the package size, so the design can be fully optimised without having to bodge stuff or develop workarounds to meet regs.

ok,point one-the blue rocket bunny and also there is a similar picture with a red one are both computer renderings for the kit presentation as far as I know

point two-never built the car for track so the slight angle on this is not relevant for my build

but will be at Japfest soon so you can all have a closer look then ;)
