I have found the more drag your car looks like it has due to wings and splitters, the more likely you are to podium in the advanced HPDE groups.

Why drive faster when you can BUY faster!

Effen lawyers.

If I add 2º more aero do I need to switch to 20w-50?

If I add aero, do I also need track insurance?

The front tow hook gives lots of downforce
