I race a 2005 Elise NA with no aero. My lap times are in the 1:58-2:00 bracket on 2.75 mile newish asphalt track with 16 turns. It is fast in the corners, but not too swift on the straights. Questions:
1. If I keep my car without forced induction, and assuming everything remains the same otherwise, how much help would front splitter, canards and rear wing help on straights? ...in corners?
2. Depending on weather, traffic, etc,
how much do you think a combined splitter/wing could reasonably shave off those LAP times?
I'm not trying to look cool, but trying to get more grip and go faster around the track. The car is fun to drive and fast for 160 rwhp, but I have a need for more speed. Please give me your best thoughts on this question. Thanks.
