Some nice work there Chris. Some time shortly I'm intending on consolidating all my Winggate info onto one page and naturally your animations will fit in nicely.
Just a follow up on this whole saga. Hearing today that it DOES NOT appear Toyota ever did a full rig flex test for the FIA. This would be the test done at their own facility, in the presence of the FIA, that shows their rear wing system passes ALL of the relevant flexion tests, not the "spot" test that's essentially done (or can be done) at a race meeting in scrutineering.
Furthermore; the FIA had a meeting sometime this past week regarding this issue (or, this issue was discussed there indepth). THe results of the meeting will presumable be forthcoming. Vasselon's rather confident public comments seem at odds with what's going on in the background. This ISN'T a done deal by ANY stretch.
