THIS is one of the reasons why I love Jalopnik so much. We can help identify cars, we can watch crazy Russian webcams, and we can learn just a little bit more about aerodynamics. I'd have to read this through a couple more times to make sure I have the concepts down enough, but damnit, thank you for helping educate…

Seriously lol. Both great technical knowledge but you write fairly well also ;)

And this fantastic explanation reminds me why I am glad my limited fluid dynamics expertise is best kept to experimental laminar flow design (not to mention brings back nightmares from Adv Fluid Mech).

TL:DR, science is awesome. read more.

Awesome comments. The limits on wing width for F1 prohibit the tapering tips that would eliminate the vortices. Greatly appreciate your insight RE: the rake of the downforce tunnels and vortex generation at their entry.

People get paid to write articles like this lol. You did it while I was sitting drinking coffee. Very nice.

This is probably the most intelligent response ever on Jalopnik!

I was going to say something similar, but you said it better than I could ever hope to.

This almost- almost- makes me wish I'd stuck with aero, rather than switching to civil. I never got to do wind tunnel testing...

This was one of the first posts I remember reading on Jalopnik, and watching this again is never a bad thing.

The RX7 was an autocross not a car show, and there's a story behind it. This was his first event with the wheels, and the shop that sold him his wheels gave him lugnuts of the wrong size/thread type. They were close enough that it was possible for him to put them on without noticing, but then they came off right…
