The
LMP02's high downforce bodywork. A section of the front fender has
been dished revealing a hard edge. This allows for a larger diveplane.
Note the vertical gurney slightly ahead of the wheel well leading edge.
The gurney helps augment wheel well extraction. |
The
snout-like duct behind the engine plenum is a cooling duct for the pneumatic
shifting mechanism. Note the large rear brake ducts. |
Note
the additional brake cooling ducts on the high downforce variant. These
were first spied at the '02 Washington D.C. ALMS race. At Mosport
(where these images were taken), the front brake ducts were blocked off:![]() |
