March 27, 2013 - One of the dirty areas of the car, aerodynamically speaking, is the front tires.
That exposed rubber, spinning at high speed, generates a lot of drag. So I thought I'd be clever and build some canards that would cover them up in front view.
Well, that didn't work out. Somehow I came up with a pretty cool design, but crouching down and looking at the car head-on showed that they only covered about half the tire. Oops. The canards evolved from the original design as I made them.
