'USF1 - Car Without A Wind Tunnel'

Will be interesting to see how the CFD designed cars will do!
Nick Wirth is a pretty capable designer; his '95 Simtek F1 car wasn't bad, but there was no money to develop it. His Acura prototypes seem to do well in the ALMS series.

Ah...wind tunnel would be a good place to start spending a few pennies - from the outset.
 
I never thought much of the Bodine Bros. as drivers, but Geoff Bodine changed the world of bobsledding forever. His sled, designed and tested in a wind tunnel, caused every other sledding body in the world to redesign their sleds to catch up, which they did.

So maybe old Peter needs to get in touch with Geoff Bodine and get a wind tunnel to test the cars. Maybe they should have Geoff look over them and do a redesign.
