Been reading Simon McBeath's stuff - the under carriage is a travesty and an ERA may be the worst. With ERA and it's rec tubing it should be easy to clean and accelerate air under the car. Can't help but wonder what a sheet of CF adequately fastened to the chassis would do for twist.
Look at the Shelby entered FIA's in the 64 Targa. Right idea but 5 (+?) years to early and lousy execution. Needed Hall to move the ship. Reading McBeaths study makes it apparent.

On paper we should hit 155 at 7K in 4th and I believe we have what we need in power with some improved aero. We will have very good suspension, hopefully a rigid enough chassis and brakes. I watched an Audi Spyder with a V10 hit 155 at the end of the front straight at Portland over and over which I guess is around 600 yards once you are straight. I am thinking you need to carry near 80 off of the apex of 12. To watch and hear it is a lesson unto itself.
If I ever reach for 5th it will be with a very satisfying grin.
