[QUOTE="gcassidy, post: 6945725, member: 13216"] BTW, this shouldn't be a surprise, and isn't really any tech, but I thought it was cool because I experienced it. We were at Summit Point over the weekend running laps on the Shenandoah circuit with the Mercedes Benz group. The BMWCCA was on the main track (faster speeds) and running some races. We went over to watch some during lunch. While myself and 2 buddies were in my friend's car, sitting on the bridge over a section where speeds are around 80 in my Cobra, a few of the BMW full race cars (Class B, maybe-BIG rear wings) went under the bridge. There was a WHOOMP!! The bridge, the car, and us in it were all raised by 4 inches or more. We gasped. It happened over and over again. I know they're pushing some air in front, but I'll bet the bulk of the force that was lifting us was the rear wings pushing a constant wall of air upwards. It was glorious. :D [/QUOTE]
