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!

“I am very impressed with our new Aeromotions wing,” said GT-R driver Brian Lock. “We were able to balance out our aero package with 3 degrees less angle than our previous wing. This tells us that the Aeromotions aerofoil is extremely efficient, creating the same downforce with less drag. This should definitely show on the time sheets at tracks like Auto Club Speedway where drag is a major problem. And considering the 180+mph speeds reached at that track, knowing that this wing is built to withstand the huge aero loading gives me the confidence to push that much harder.”





The Aeromotions wing element was born in a wind tunnel at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was continuously refined through computational fluid dynamic (CFD modeling) to bring it to its current high-downforce, low-drag, 200+mph configuration. However, the excellent wing element design is just the start of Aeromotions’ solution. The wing is upgradeable to an active element that can change its angle of attack via high-speed servos and sophisticated control software based on what the car is doing at any given time.

On straights the wing lays flat to reduce drag when downforce isn’t needed. In the braking zones it pops up to maximum angle of attack for improved stability and enhanced rear braking. In the corners it goes to the position that provides the best mid-corner balance as set by the driver. Aeromotions’ on-track testing with data-acquisition has shown that simply by switching the Aeromotions wing from static-mode to active-mode can drop lap times by up to 1.5 seconds.





With the recent win at Round 5 of the Redline Time Attack at Autobahn Country Club, the COBB Tuning Motorsports Team learned firsthand just how responsive, efficient and effective wing the Aeromotions R2 Static wing is. With the next event at Button Willow and its fast sweeping turns, the team will continue to explore the limits of performance and balance with the help of Aeromotions.





Race car development is a continuous endeavor with smaller and smaller returns on additional investment. This upgrade path from a simple fixed wing element to full-on active wing control offers a perfect entry point for the racer on a budget to acquire a wing with wind tunnel designed aerodynamics and motorsports grade construction and mounting hardware for just $1,699, with the option of significant performance enhancements by upgrading to the full active wing as budget allows. The prospect of flipping a switch and dropping 1.5 seconds off the lap time of a fully sorted race car is a valuable option!

6/26/09 Nashville, TN. Redline Time Attack at the Nashville Super Speedway.

Saturday’s practice went as expected with both teams gradually getting quicker and quicker as the day went on. The conditions were hot but the skies were clear for the day’s events. Back and forth, AMS and Sierra Sierra traded the fastest laps; each team within mere tenths of a second of each other. At the end of the day, it was the AMS/NOS Energy Drink EVO X piloted by Mark Daddio that had the fastest lap in class and for the day with a 1:02.7 besting the Sierra Sierra car by only two tenths of a second. The stage was set for Sunday.

The AMS/NOS Energy Drink EVO X took the number one position in grid. In the first round, AMS charged around the bank clearly on a mission to lay down a fast lap. As it rounded the final bend, Mark Daddio sailed across the finish with a time of 1:01.296 – breaking the track record for a lap in competition at the Nashville Super Speedway by nearly 2.5 seconds! Learn more about their R2 wing.

The AMS Performance | NOS Energy Drink Evo X debuted with a podium finish at the Redline Time Attack at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, IL. Keeping this 600 WHP beast glued to the pavement was a custom mounted R2.Static wing. Trading fast time of the day with the Crawford Performance STI, the AMS Evo proved to be a potent competitor right out of the box. After this initial shakedown, AMS will be adding the R2 Dynamic Module to run the R2.TWO Dynamic Wing™. We’re excited to see what AMS can do with the newest Dynamic Wing™! Learn more about the R2.
