OK LETS GET THIS STRAIT!

the criteria for this forum is "wingless machines"
last time i checked, race cars had wings.

now, it seems that there have been other racing threads in the general section.

PLEASE CLEARIFY WHY THIS HAS BEEN MOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BMan1113VR]

i didn't move it, but it is currently in the correct place. . .please alert us to the other auto racing topics in the other sections, and we will be more than happy to move them to the correct forum

btw, tis awsome that we might get are own team


p.s. if you need more clarification as to why f1 racing qualifies itself as automobile racing, and/or what constitutes a "wing", please feel free to contact me

WHAT THEN DO YOU CALL A WING?

my definition, along with many aerodynamics experts, call it a surface that works as an aerofoil(creates pressure-differential)

[BMan1113VR]

yes, we might need to change the deffinition to objects that do not have wings that produce lift

all automobile wings that i am aware of produce downforce instead of lift

but this is getting tedious, i believe you get pete's drift when he says wingless machines

Bman,

If you think about it a racing car wing would produce lift if it was flipped the other way!

yes, but if that happened the drive would flip the crew cheif the other way
