Wing and splitter function well, stabilize car at high speed while probably lowering top straightaway speed by a fraction. No evidence of deforming or cracking of engine cover.
Thanks to Mick for posting pictures of the wing and splitter at the track.
Also, NASA-Southeast.com has lots of Elise on track pictures from 8-13-14-05. Also check out silvereightstudio.com/NASA_RA_8-13-05/ for more Elise on-track pictures.
Kirt Wightman of Hyper-Sport and I have a project underway to enhance the engine performance of track day cars. Because of Kirt's close relationship with Lotus we can't announce any details yet.
As requested, will post pics of the latest tweaks like a quick release Sparco steering wheel, DEKA battery installation using Elise battery hold down system, Helmet hook, engine cover latch pin and rubber bumpers to stabilize wing, radio box and push to talk button.
The Elise needs no tweaks to be fun but its even more fun to tweak and see what happens!
