 The
Dallara's front end aerodynamics architecture is heavily influenced by
the Lola
B2K/10, but evolving the concept even further. The front wheel
arch is vented by the ACO mandatory louvers that are located on top of
the arch (not seen, on forward portion of arch, removed) but also via vents
outboard. |
 At
Le Mans 2002 the Dallara sported an elongated and angled trailing edge
shape for the fender pontoon. |
 The
pontoon also vents inboard, into the channel between the tub and the pontoon
(note where the stay comes into the wheel well). |
 Note
that the inboard vent is larger than the outboard vent. |
 At
Le Mans 2002 the Oreca Dallara Judd had filled in the outboard wheel arch
vent. |
 Looking
outboard at the inboard facing surface of the pontoon fender. Good
view of the floor cross section and its profile, which is similar in ideology
to the Lola
B01/60. |
 The
Dallara's cooling is partially reliant on exhaust flow from the front nose
diffuser. That in turn makes the car 's cooling ride height dependent,
especially in high ambient temperature conditions. |
