LeGrand Mk 18 : Ramps and Winging It Nov 19, 2009

Now that our LeGrand is back on the ground and ready to race, we got a chance to try out our Brute Industries Race Ramps. The ramps were custom made to allow our super-low car to safely roll onto the trailer; they also saved us from resorting to rear wheel ramps for our tow vehicle. They work great.

Next on our agenda: Use an inexpensive APR 7.5-inch wing element from Ciro Design. We’ll be using it as a secondary element for our LeGrand’s fabricated aluminum wing. The original wing—made by previous owner Soter Slomski—appears to be a modified, highly cambered NACA design. The APR element will add even more downforce to the package, providing extra rear grip at speed—hopefully with a minimum of drag.

Hey when did you add the aero tabs to the trailer? Notice any difference? Oh yeah and the car looks good.
