Looks fantastic as far as I'm concerned Mark!! Keep us posted on any progress.

Will the louvers be tilted down toward the back so the rain will stay on the outside to avoid fogging up? I assume this was not an issue with the Ferrari with the heat of the engine and the ability to drain out the bottom.

Now I hope the above picture illustrates why I have designed the central bottom vent in the middle as we do not want 'dirty air' detracting from the performance of the rear spoiler.
This is not a problem for people running high wings.
Basically the force of most of the incoming cabin air is generated at the bottom of the screen and this is where they are most prone to blowing out from if braces are not used.
This design also allows for twin braces if required – Only the testing will tell

I think you need to come along to one of the big front engined gatherings this year as I know there will be quite a few 924/944/951 guys interested in your rear screens.

I'd really like to see the quality of a non-slatted screen fitted to a road/track car and how you think it would stand up to our 'mixed' UK weather

it looks way way better with the 968 wing, perhaps you can photoshop it onto a proper racecar with bigger wing? imho it looks a bit bleh with stock hatch. also any plans for makeing the hatch in composite? the frame is silly heavy! I don't really need mine to be functional either.
as for rain I have no interior anyway sooo
