Just wondering as I am helping some guys wortk on a virtual V8 supercar mod for a couple of PC racing games and would be good to get as much technical info as possible so that we can get it as accurate as possible

Try the V8 Supercar site Doug, they have technical information on there :)

Thanks for that Bec M. Turns out there is a terrific book there for sale. Going to go grab a copy

AFAIK, VESA haven’t done much IRT CoD. They took some measurements of downforce at Avalon airport IIRC, but these were only load sensors comparing front & rear downforce.

I’m pretty sure PMM took a car to the US earlier this year and put it in a wind-tunnel, maybe contact them?

But on that, there would be a slight difference to the figures if they either used a static test bed, or a rolling road.
