The
MG has a particularly efficient from wheel fender shape. The edge
rolling outboard limits bow wake reducing overall drag. This is the
debut outboard fender shape and would be the fender run at the lower downforce
tracks such as Le Mans when the new fender shape (below) was introduced. |
In
2003 Lola continued to develop the B01/60 chassis. The outboard front
fender edge was redesigned with an even harder edge to it and pocketed
for the fitment of dive planes, which ultimatel mades it even more reminiscent
of the
B2K/40. |
At
the 2003 Petit Le Mans, the Intersport Lola-Judd also showed up with the
newly developed dive-plane pocket (shown here running without the dive
planes). |
There
is an additional NACA duct in the front bodywork (next to the IMSA sticker)
to cool the front brakes calipers. The main duct in the center (partially
taped off) cools the upright and brake disc. |
The
upper and lower A-arms of the front suspension mounts via metal flexures,
not the traditional rose joints. The flexures elminate friction within
the suspension system and provide some additional dampening. |
