Update by Per Schroeder to the LeGrand Mk 18 project car
Dec 4, 2009

One problem with having closed fenders on a sports racer is that a high pressure area develops in the front wheel wells. This can be relieved by adding vents or louvers on the top of the wheel arches. We purchased a pair of carbon fiber louver panels from Hoerr Racing Products. After cutting out the underlying fiberglass, we riveted the panels in place.

We’ll be attending Dixie Region’s Axis vs. Allies event this weekend in Georgia, so we’ll get a chance to try out our new setup at speed.
