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. |
