 Following
Audi
and Courage's
lead, the MkIIIC showed up at the 2002 Miami and Petit rounds sporting
deep endplates. R&S has taken a slightly more aggressive reading
of the rule in that the extension coming up from the bodywork actually
overlaps the wing endplate. |
 Clearly
what little gap there is will shrink when at speed as the extension is
sucked in towards the endplate, effectively making for a deep, one-piece,
wing endplate. |
 The
deep endplates are aerodynamic pay dirt. The MkIIIC was able to run
the shorter chord, low-drag and downforce "Le Mans" wing for equal downforce
and less drag to the standard high-downforce small endplate wing. |
