not sure I follow...

People own these cars

Or do you mean is it invitational?

Yes and No... I think you can enter just on your own but there isnt much point. Its a team competition. Originally it seemed to be Marque specific teams but in the last few years there were teams from clubs/forums running GTRs/EVO's/Imprezas etc.

3 main candidates to win are MLR, 22B or GTRoC.

I think Nic is racing with Vauxsport?! Fee is in the GTRoC team and the car above is in 22B team (Andy Forrest).

Normally these teams are selected well in advance - not just a turn up on the day type affair.

What about the air going under it though?? Will that not just have a negative affect, and cancel out the air pushing down onto that thing?? Serious question btw.

does a plane go down when it picks up speed? (flaps ignored)

A plane wing is a similar device but the other way round.

Air is sped up under it, low pressure formed below the wing - giving negative lift, downforce.

i think

How do they work?

Sprint Car wings act like upside down aircraft wings, creating downforce instead of lift. A wing generates downforce due to the air pressure differential between the top and bottom surfaces of the wing. Due to the shape and angle of attack of the wing the air below the wing travels faster than that above, meaning that its air pressure will be lower. The speed of the air above the wing is either not changed or slowed by the shape of the wing, meaning the pressure of the air above the wing is higher than the air flowing under the wing. The downforce is created as the high pressure area on top of the wing is drawn to the low pressure area under the wing forcing the wing down. As the speed of the wing moving through the air is increased, so is the downforce.

When it drove past I thought someone had just rested it on there lol

Looks a little odd? Have they had it in a wind tunnel to test?

wind tunnel - I doubt it. He isnt an F1 team with millions of pounds. BUT the wing shape/profile will have figures calculated (CFD) and such like I'd think.

Nic - you are down as being in the 'vauxsport' team
