AEROMOTIONS DEBUTS THE ACTIVE DYNAMIC WING ASSEMBLY at a super duper secret event. OK, it was a NorCal Porsche Club event…
Last Sunday (08/02/2008), 3-time SCCA Street Modified National Champion Vic Sias ran our prototype AeroMotions Active Dynamic Wing Assembly on its maiden voyage at a NorCal Porsche Club event outside of Marina Ca. Much to Vic’s pleasure, he was immediately out on top for the day.
“What the F!@$ is that!” immediately rumbled through the on-lookers, gawkers, and course workers, as they watched Sias’ car charging around the cones at the ol’ Marina Airbase. Said gawkers and fellow enthusiasts took note at the airplane-like dynamic rudders quickly moving up and down controlling down force and stability as if some kid was sitting shotgun controlling the wing with a joystick.
Even on the initial run for our Wing Assembly, Vic seemed ecstatic as our Active Assembly helped do everything from shaving speed while on the brakes, increasing straightaway speed, keeping the car planted through corners, to even correcting oversteer.
Vic had this to say:
“After my first run, I mentioned to Ryan and Greg (senior techies for AeroMotions) that I was getting some oversteer while exiting corners. They pushed a few buttons, and on the next run, everything was much better! The wing was giving downforce where I needed it while magically adjusting itself to give less drag on the straightaway. No compromises like with a fixed wing.”
We couldn’t have hoped for a better debut-even if it was a secret one. Vics top time of the day stood its ground–much to the chagrin of the numerous Porsche drivers.
