| Scion TC sets FWD record while rocking TWO spoilers
"" At the recent Redline Time Attack at Willow Springs Chris Rado dominated in the front-wheel drive Unlimited class posting a 1:22.623 lap time - setting a new record for a front-wheel drive vehicle at the track.
How did he do it? Isn’t it obvious? He stuck a ridiculous looking wing on the front of his tC race car, giving those front tires all the downforce they need. The car is pushing 700hp, 700ft/lbs and weighs a measly 2200 lbs
We’re certain all the other competitors laughed at him… while he sprayed them with champagne from the top of the podium. ""
the video is a must see, lots of awesome cars http://videos.streetfire.net/video/R...-at_685994.htm     
I would like to hear all the ricer comments right about now.

^ yes, technically speaking it's a whole lot of explaining, but in basics Chris simply said that he had so much proper grip, he couldn't oversteer or understeer the car if he wanted too.

what amazes me is that he shaved 5 seconds off his last years lap time at this same track, the car was basically the same setup minus the wing.
5 seconds is a huuuuuuuuuge gap

This is why you don't race FWD  . Reminds me of this BMW ad:  
You can't power oversteer a FWD car on-throttle anyways.

Funny ad though. | When constrained by rules designed to ensure close racing, all bets are off, because the rules, rather than engineering, set the limit on performance.
When taken to the logical limits of race car engineering, RWD (or AWD in some cases) is the way to go.

However yes, if you want to do things properly, really doesn’t make much sense to use a FWD car.
Regardless, funny add.
Z3Guy, your right, doesn’t mean anything, because the rules of the categories they race in dictate what they can and cannot do to the cars, those same rules put the BMW in the same class as the ACURA cars. I guess thats "understanding" racing? If you watched those series, you would realize it probably had more to do with the drivers than the cars that series, and NOTHING to do with it being FWD vs RWD, which is sort of the point I was trying to make. I havent watched the series in a long time (not even sure whats happening with it right now) but Kleinubing was a MONSTER! I can see that was lost in my above post.

This is almost the anti-ricer.
Something that is as effective as it is horrendously ugly. All go, no show.

As much as an eye-sore that front GT wing is, having it on to shave off 5 seconds is huge.

Those BMW ads remind me of an old Honda commercial. It had a bunch of huskies trying to PUSH a dogsled and saying something about how it doesn't make sense. Can't find it for the love of me though.
I was wondering if the same downforce could be achieved by using an extremely over-sized bug/rock deflector or a front splitter aimed downwards.
