Uh oh, what is ole Villo up to now?!?! lol
minus one support rod, a newly designed splitter is ready for the track this weekend!, a good 1.5" closer to the ground, more rigid material/framing, and a larger/different shape.
let me know what you all think.

Oh my god
I read what you wrote for 3 times, and checked the picture couple times...and saying what is he talking about
I thought that was a shadow
Ok I am laying down that's why
hahaha
Looks nice but I hope it doesn't break
ok i have to admit, that tiny bar holding the wing from the license plate socket....I thought it was a rope
asking myself, what the heck a rope is doing there
I swear to god

it has a much stronger framing and more reinforcement. This is a temp version for the weekend, after that I'll be making some modifications for cooling/ducting that will be pretty damn cool....just didn't have time to finish it all in a single week between events.

After 40 pages I am amazed that I never noticed the POW MIA on the roof... Those proofs look amazing. Because of the POW MIA decal, that first shot is my favorite ever of your car. And... I love how your back tire is barely touching in the second picture

yeah, that upper shot should be your avatar, great pioneering here...
can't say i VISUALLY love the car the way it sits, especially the splitter and spoiler, but the function and being able to really track the car, I appreciate the effort put int, bud.

Here's a vid from my friends new M3 from last weekend. The part behind me was taken early on saturday when I was still getting no temp/pressure in the tires so I didn't pull away quite as much as later in the day. He was running 1:52's all weekend and I worked down into the 1:48's by that afternoon. Still a good look at the car in action.

Last when we spoke he said he will be making one of alumnalite...not sure why he changed his mind...

I'll get a weight soon...The plywood is very strong and is 1/3 the cost of Alumalite and readily available at home improvement stores. 1 sheet I think can make 2 splitters so I'll have a spare and it makes the cost per splitter only about 20 bucks total....Its about function, cost, difficulty, etc...

Sick sick video Rex....
Funny thing which I noticed is, most of the cars on Azine have racing pedals and the one car that actually does race, does not have them ;-)
Love the video....
