It depends so much on the rest of the car. Try these three threads for starters:
http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...highlight=keel http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...highlight=keel http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...highlight=keel you might want to also search for the threads on the Williams, McLaren and Sauber launches... http://tentenths.com/forum/search.php?s= I think it would be best if replies were posted on the discussion forum, then they could develop! I have removed your F1 forum thread on teh same subject, as it is best served here. Last edited by Adam43; 17 Mar 2004 at 19:54. |

No keel at all would be best. All those suspension bits and pieces just get in the way of optimising the air flow.
Given that the suspension has such a small amount of travel, it is possible that the aero gains available would outweigh losses from compromised geometry. |
