From
www.flatcadracing.org :
Chasing record speeds with a vintage car is similar to nature, in the fact that there is a never ending metamorphosis happening. Much the same as a caterpillar morphs into a butterfly, a classic car changes into a sculpted steel contraption that looks as if it belongs in the movie 'Transformers'.
It's really an evil necessity, because pure horsepower only goes so far, then racers are forced to make aero changes due to drag, lift, etc. Going fast may not look as cool as going slow, but going fast IS cool!
Love it or hate it, this is a rendition close in appearance, to what the FlatCad will likely look like in our quest for 200 mph. Aero speed mods will be held on with dzus fasteners, so that they can be removed in the /BVGALT class.
