 One
of the primary areas of concentration on the SSC2K was under body downforce
as there are more substantial gains to be found underneath the car than
on top. Shown here, inconspicuously tucked away, is the Crawford's extensive
nose diffuser. |
 No
less than six strakes adorned the center section of the diffuser. |
 On
scene reporting relayed that the nosebox/splitter module was mounted to
the chassis without the use of any tools. Instead, quick release
brackets, such as those used in F1 to mount the front nose/wing assembly,
are utilized. The advantages are many, especially in the repair of
crash damage. |
 Detail
changes to the nose diffuser appeared on the '02 revisions. The management
of the air underneath was altered with the apperance of this small diffuser
exiting ahead of the front wheel. One can imagine the rest of the
front underbody being altered as well. |
