Your car? Weren't you driving the cup with the livery you showed us not long ago? The one with the big red stripe down the middle.

Wing seems a lot bigger than the regular 996 cup wing.

Hey Franc - that was just before the new livery (other guy's is Pink!).
I thought I explained that in the blurb - mine was the first white Cup (#70).
I'm the 'wait for me guy' just behind the group A cars - our classes time based and I'm 1sec off the A cutoff atm.

The GT3's in A are all running the standard GT Clubsport Package (local GT2/3 only shop)
ie: high wider wings, nice CF splitters & diveplanes with half car undertrays, Moton adjustables (2&3 way), 3.9L for RS's, stock for Cups & Motec Eng Mgmt
so quite big amo! Its a $$$ package but it works. Being my first year I'm not cheq book racing
The fastest cars there (the 04 hybrid livery cup) & the Blue/Red RS are running 1.16s, I'm 1.19s.
I recon 1.5s is achievable for me just as a driver ie an (old) pro in my car (hybrid livery driver) can do 1.17s in my car as is.

Weight wise I'm inline with them tho .. here's the splitter which I posted before somewhere



That is a custom wing made here - 65in - but the guys dont do volume
so their prices about the same as the wings you guys get (US aftermkt) and internals not as 'sorted'
hence my preference for the import. Also note the uprights are nice and high.

Yeah, and did you see those dive planes? Especially compared to mine (see pic below V V)

It's not enough that I have wing envy, now I have dive plane envy.

The guy who designs them believes stock lip/splitter does nothing even on cup and if splitter isn't 2-3 inches out front and lots of undertray, you're wasting your time. Hence the big canards and even doubling them too ie 2 per corner. They have wind tunneled to get wing height right, about 3 yrs ago. But built for our tracks.
