Love it or hate it, Chris Rado’s fwing-equipped Scion delivered a 1:22.623 lap - destroying the competition in Unlimited FWD and shattering notions of what a front drive car is capable of. Apparently this was the fastest lap time ever recorded by a FWD vehicle at Willow Springs and no doubt this car will be even faster once Chris and the team get the boost issues figured out.
wow, sick idea!!!
it is a great idea… but it looks horrendous, like pjb in a speedo or something
Really good Idea, but how long before kids on the streets start bolting pep boys spoilers to their hoods?
As long as you have the power to overcome the drag more downforce is always good. However they could probably gain the same amount downforce using other aero elements on the body of the car itself (see DTM) without having a retarded looking picnic table hanging over the front end. However that takes analysis and testing ($$$).
Next he needs to use the split wing that adjusts its angle of attack through corners and during braking.
Hmm, good idea, but looks terrible! I couldnt run one of those even if it did help out alot, just b/c it looks so wierd! lol. I wonder if it obstructs the view any…
Typical ricers.
I’m searching for in-car vids now :lol
I gotta get me one of those and hit the str33tz!
:facepalm
Ho-hum…
The use of fwings has been going on for years… In the dirt!
BOO YA!
But seriously, though, clever idea.
cant believe im ever gonna say this but that the’ first 1980’s honda hatchback thats actually cool!
please dont make me post the epic facepalm picture again
thats from 73’ bro…
Do it you won’t.

Rado FYI is the former NDRA champion.
I’m sure this car has no shortage of power, funding, or engineering. No surprise its fast.
Could be faster with a flatten-able wing. attached to a pedal.
yea that ef hatch doenst look too bad. as long as theyre actually racing it
True, but most organizations frown apon cockpit controllable aero and deem it illegal.
Oh, but mounting ironing boards to your hood is ok? OK.
ps: you never answered my question on bbim. :shifty
I THINK Rado just does the time attack events. I don’t know if there’s any regulations about it?
rado competes in the unlimited class at time attacks, pretty much can do what ever he wants.
