Evident
in this image is the mandated underbody chamfer that starts just past the
front wheels and continues to the rear of the car. The chamfer reduces
yaw instability. |
The
C65's raised splitter center section is obvious in this picture.
The splitter must be raised 50 mm off the reference plane for a 1000 mm
width. |
The
height of the rear wing determines the gap between the bottom of the endplate
and the side plate coming up from the chamfer structure. The endplate size
remained fixed while the chassis raced in '04 with the wing height being
the method for reducing drag and downforce as the situation called for. |
For
2004 the rear wing chord is allowed a maximum of 300 mm. Note the
higher position available for the rear wing (set of holes in endplate).
The shortened chord (previously 400 mm for LMP900) makes for a less efficient
rear wing. |
