Not sure, if the detail comes across, this was a quick concept I whipped up. This is sort of an concept of the last post about curved panels, wondering how much this would affect in a straight line. Because part of me wants the stability down the straights that a long straight panel would provide. But, at the same time, I know that more downforce through the corners will always yeild lower(Faster) lap times for us. I know as the kart yaws into the corner it would definitely benefit by more side "cushion". Since we're only turning left, it would definitely be a long the lines of the modern Dirt late Model in the curved panels and such. This pic gives some insight into a "modern" dirt latemodel and how even the older Nascar was using some of the same tricks. Because, even down the straights with the amount of rear tracking we run, it yaws the chassis down the straight, and even more so on corner entry. So I'm definitely leaning more toward the curved panels. I know they introduce a lot of complexity. But, once a mold is built, as long as they're tested fairly well in CFD I'd feel comfortable investing in the molds for Carbon or even E-Glass.
