Wouldn't data from current Supercars parity testing be used to validate CFD results?

Has to go round the other way, real world testing validates the CFD, and you can't possibly compare real world results to CFD in that way.

It is a useful tool, not a magic bullet.

GRM (with help from Boeing) believe they've addressed the splitter issues on ZB but won't know for sure till they hit the track at Adelaide: solution splitter

You want that flex they talk about there, but you don't want that chatter at Phillip Island.

Be really good if someone, somewhere, got GRM to explain on camera how it's all come about....

Worrying stuff considering that P1 is now essentially a test session and if it goes pear shaped I don't imagine it being a quick fix.

The ‘quick fix’ is possibly sourcing ZB front splitters from Lightning/888 not GRM....

Maybe they should just make them like plastic bottles and they can be popped out easily, or even recycled...

Super Tourers (the original ones) had the right idea. OEM bumper, with the bottom 1/3 trimmed off to accomodate a rigid-mounted splitter/undertray/ducting assembly. Most of the later ones were modular by design, whereby you could just replace what broke.

Much like Audi does these days with the current GT3-spec R8 LMS.

I do wonder how all these ZB panels are going to cope in incidents. Are they only carbon or is there kevlar in there to allow them to handle damage better?

Guards, 3 doors, and the quarter panels will be composite, as per what VF has.

The front splitter protrudes quite a bit, be interesting to see how they go with a bit of nose to tail rubbing, I guess SVG and Lowndes will answer that question pretty early on.
