Super Lap Battle COTA
#22
Rules are rules. http://globaltimeattack.com/wp-conte...tack-Rules.pdf
"2. Only one wing is permitted including OEM or aftermarket spoilers. “Duck bills” may be retained and may be used for wing mounting"
Ryan's trunk extension was a long spoiler, with a gurney. He also has the GT1000 wing. That's two rear aero devices. The "duckbill" wording is confusing, but they're trying to allow 'non-functional' bolt on aesthetic pieces to be augmented with additional functional wings. Ryan's trunk quacked like a duck though.
The longtail side pieces and the rear zigzag spats are essentially both in the un-regulated grey area. If protested, the rear bumper extensions could be called vertical diffusers, and are legal in Limited as Street's 5" from the body rule goes away in Limited's diffuser wording. The fender extensions don't cover exposed tire, so they're protest bait too.
"11. Aftermarket fenders and fender flares may be installed. Rear OE fenders may only be modified to allow tire clearance. On vehicles with bolt on rear fenders the entire fender may be replaced with an aftermarket fender."

We're using our experience and data gathered from COTA to guide the development plans this year, with the primary focus being a return to COTA in 2020 with significant updates. Astonishing how much drag plays a role at this track, we're hitting a major wall on the straights. In some ways, the ideal COTA setup and even overall car approach is massively different than other tracks we frequent more often. It's a new challenge that puts us outside of our comfort zone. I'm quite excited.
