The Allard's front wing
with raised center section emulated contemporary leading-edge Formula
One concepts
with the idea of reducing fluctuations in the amount of airflow volume
underneath the car with changes in front ride height. |
The
function of the front flap is somewhat complicated by the need to keep
the front suspension covered (FIA Group C regulations Art
7.1). |
Shadow
plates mask the A-arm's trailing link as seen from above.
They are
also curved in side profile giving them some ability to contribute to
downforce
generation. |
Pushrods
actuate the rocker arms to which the spring/dampers are connected.
The anti-roll bars are attached to the front of the tub. |
The
simple formula-style brake ducts receive all of their cooling air from
underneath the front wing and are positioned within the airflow being
routed
around the front fender. |
The
raised monocoque is evident here. |
