![]() Here we have the definitive low-drag Ferrari with the Le Mans single element "Banana" wing with large gurney and very small endplates, short splitter, and with fully opened front fender louvers. The side radiator inlet (oil coolers) that was traditionally located in the vertical face of the side pod between the front and rear wheels has been deleted and the oil cooled via heat exchangers instead (a common modification in practice here and below). Team Scandia Engineer Jeff Braun recalls, "...we used one heat exchanger for the oil in the same location as the oil cooler. As the water lines had to run from the front (and then back) to the engine they passed right past the oil cooler location, so we replaced one with a heat exchanger and ran the cool water through it to cool the oil." Interestingly Braun adds, "... as the program (333 SP) went forward we were gifted restrictors and (then) more restrictors to slow us down, so power output was way down from (the) original design and thus heat rejection was lower." |
