AndyCar Mk.V Development Update

5,087 KingHandspider  7.5 years ago

Been doing a lot in terms of safety recently.

AG3 currently ejects both the front and rear wings (see img 1), since wings and structural panels seem to react rather more violently to crashes than other parts. I've also shortened the underbody panels from the nose of the car to just in front of the cockpit (see img 2), and that alone did loads in terms of avoiding catastrophic disassembly (exploding). The upper panel of the nose has also been replaced with a fuselage piece with the same dimensions, and that as well has been useful in retaining structural integrity.
