not 911 related but a really interesting (to me) talk on the nissan delta wing and the way the suspension works etc.. something to watch if you have a spare few mins.. If think link doesnt work its on pistonheads.com as one of their feature articles.

Link worked, thanks for posting. That is a truly ingenious design. I hope it is accepted in the racing community down the road.

Apparently this Porsche driver is not a fan.

Thought it was interesting (and not 100% off topic) as driving experience was compared to that of 911's. (tenuous i know) Think i need to watch a few more times to really understand the science of the tire width / suspension. I'm not sure i can transpose any of that knowledge into a 911 track set up but who knows!

Wow... Sad hit with the Porsche. And if we're already OT, what year/model is the 911 in your avatar JLJ? It looks excellent...

Shes a '76 930 with 993 motor, custom exhaust, lots of other bits Currently working on what brakes to go with.. could rebuild calipers but probably going to try and fudge in something more modern.. Already quite the frankenstein so no harm carrying on.. When I get back to US i'll try and do a post on the continued build. (and actually not use a rubbish camera phone for all my photos)
