Air flow through the rad w/ fans?
 
On a GT 40 the air needs to flow through the radiator and out, up over the windshield. My question is about the fans. Do they block a lot of air? This air flow creates some down force on the car and I would like to keep this area clear but I might need the fans at low speed around town. Should I make the whole fan assembly a quick disconnect or am I over thinking it?

I would post a picture but the files are too large.

Hey dlampe, after your great Kit Car article everybody is afraid to talk to you! :eek:
Or maybe there aren't enough GT40 owners out here to give you a good answer.:confused:
But it sure makes sense that your airflow would be much better if the fans would be out of the way on a high-speed track.

I think that the necessity of the fans outweighs any advantage losing them would give you.... maybe a motorised fan mounting that disappears at the flick of button!;)... no I'm only joking.:3DSMILE:
