CAMBRIDGE, Mass.; February 6, 2012 – Aeromotions Inc. announced the launch of their new GT-R R35 splitter. Over a year of computer modeling, analysis, and track testing led to the unique design. While the top of the splitter appears normal, the bottom of the splitter has CNC cut venturis to feed air into the stock GT-R front venturis. This system works to enhance the great engineering already present in the R35 GT-R, while eliminating some of the factory understeer.

The three-piece splitter is constructed from Amarin Fiber, a revolutionary composite that has strength-to-weight properties similar to carbon-fiber, but adds much greater impact and wear resistance. The piece is perfect for endurance-racing applications. The splitter mounts directly to the frame and air-dam with the included stainless steel hardware. Installation is simple, and individual segments of the splitter can be replaced in the event of damage. Made in the USA. Off-Road use only.

The Crawford Performance STI, piloted by Thomas Smith, took 1st in the Unlimited AWD class (2nd overall) at the Super Lap Battle at Las Vegas. Running the R2.TWO Dynamic Wing, Crawford threw down a scorching 1:48.714. Full details of the SLB will be published in Super Street, Import Tuner and Modified Magazine.

Duncan’s Race Report – New lap record, thanks Willall, Aeromotions and JRZ

Well after nine rounds of the NSW sprint championships (local time attack series) friend Marek and I found ourselves lined up on the dummy grid on Sunday at Wakefield Park (our local track) for the final session of the last round – separated by a single point – and with the margin between us just 0.12 seconds (Marek faster) the winner of the final session would take the 2010 Outright, Type and Class Championships on the day. It really doesnt get much closer than this so the pressure was a little intense.


Both Marek and I have assisted each other during the development of our R35′s throughout the year in various ways, and being mates too it was a pity one of us had to place 2nd. But there we were, last round, last session, and only 0.12s in it….


We both had a few dramas getting the new N1 Michelins installed, and i had some fuel system issues on the day too, nearly unable to compete on the day. Thanks to support from Greg (our trusty crewman), Martin from Willall, Mick from Corse and the Russo Brothers too, i was on the start line for the last session with Marek.


At the end of the final session both Marek and i improved on our previous times, and then some. We’ve been pushing each other faster all year but I simply couldnt believe it when Greg told me i managed to pull off a 1:00.82 lap, good enough to slip in front and snatch the outright championship for 2010, setting a new lap record too. Running those times, nothing broken, swapping tyres and driving home, got to be pretty happy with how good the GTR has performed all year, what a great road/track car.

Two Australian GT-R’s have been battling for the track record at Eastern Creek International Raceway (home of the 2010 World Time Attack Challenge). Both running Aeromotions R2 Wings, Duncan Forrest and Marek Tomaszewski posted blistering fast lap times that were untouchable by other cars.

Back in February, the class 4D lap record at Eastern Creek was 1 min 42.41 sec. The old record had stood since 2005. In March Duncan said “As ever though, i had to find a way to up the ante for the 2010 season. That’s where the Aeromotions R2 wing comes in”. Duncan then added an Aeromotions R2 Dynamic Wing to his car and in March Duncan broke the 5 year old record at Eastern Creek by a massive 1.3 seconds, posting a lap time of 1 min 41.087 seconds.

On 16 May the series again visited Eastern Creek with Duncan bettering his March time by a further .89 sec, posting a 1:40.195. Marek posted a 1:42.80.

Today (8 August 2010) the R35′s visited Eastern Creek again for the latest round of the NSW Supersprint Series. Duncan posted a great time of 1:38.93 in the charcoal R35 (beating his 16 May time by 1.257 second). Not to be outdone, on his 6th timed lap of the day, Marek in the white R35 posted a lap of 1 minute 38.8263 seconds, bettering Duncan’s laptime set in May by 1.369 seconds to beat Duncan’s best time today by 0.1113 of a second.

To put this in perspective, Marek’s lap time today is a massive 3.59 seconds under the old February 4D Lap record that had stood since 2005, and 2.26 seconds under the record that Duncan set in March. Keep up the good work guys!

The Apex Kings GT-R has teamed up with Modified Magazine to chase down another victory at the Castrol Top Car Challenge. With two years of development, and a talented hotshoe, the Apex Kings GT-R is well positioned to take the win. Good luck to Darin and the G-Stig!

Round six of the Redline Time Attack series saw blistering 108 degree temperatures at Willow Springs. COBB Tuning, Lic Motorsports, and Ryan Gates, and Fontana Nissan were battling for the win. Each of these teams upgraded to an aeromotions wing this season, increasing their speed through the corners. In the end, it was the COBB tuning GT-R that set a new track record with a lightning fast 1:23.4. Way to go Brian!

Rhys Millen came to Pikes Peak with a new vision for what an unlimited class car should look like. His integrated aero package looks more like a Daytona Prototype than the current record holding car of Tajima, or the legendary Celica piloted by his father. How is the aero working out? In a word, great. Rhys is onto something here, and he’s going to set the direction of unlimited class cars for a long time to come.

Day two saw the unlimited class cars testing on the upper third of the course. Rhys’ greatest challenge is the newness of his car. Tajima has years of development and wind tunnel testing in his Suzuki SX4. Millen has a new car and a new recipe to dial in. He also has one hell of a team, an impressive Hyundai motor, serious talent, and enough heart to will that car up the mountain. It’s going to be quite a race.

Back to the aero. Rhys has done an exceptional job keeping the aero clean and powerful. Every gap was minimized, every seam was sealed. All that remains is dialing in the right aero balance for the car. The powerful Aeromotions wing can produce enough downforce to lift the front end of the car. Striking the balance of rear grip without excessive front end lift is the goal of tomorrows aero tuning. Of course, Rhys will be focused on qualifying and showing Tajima what this new Hyundai will do.

The Forged Performance GT-R has proven to be quite a track weapon. Running a Dynamic Wing R2.TWO, this track prepped GT-R took on fully race prepped Viper ACR’s, Race Corvettes, and of plenty of Porsche’s. Needless to say, TTU class competition was tight. The near 100F temps and 50% humidity took it’s toll on the competitors but Forged managed to best out the competition with a 1:30 lap time 2 days in a row. Way to go guys!

You’re looking at the shakedown and testing of RMR’s newest Hyundai, the Genesis PM580. This unlimited class Pikes Peak race car will go for the holy grail of mountain climbing – a sub ten minute ascent to 14,000 ft. Keeping Rhys Millen’s rocket sled glued to the ground is a custom built Dynamic Wing by Aeromotions.

The wing is designed to provide maximum traction and grip in the turns. On the straights, it flattens out to dump the excess drag and give Rhys that little extra edge. The computer controlled wing monitors breaking, acceleration, and turning to determine the optimal position of the wing. Here’s a clip of the wing in action.

Round 5 of Redline Time Attack was a battle between two Aeromotions favorites, COBB tuning and Ryan Gates (AMS). Both are top notch teams with great cars, great talent, and Aeromotions wings.

In the end, the COBB R35 GTR came out on top setting a new track record with an impressive 1:28.1. Nice driving, Brian!
