Default Getting used to new diffuser on DP

Crew just bolted on this new carbon diffuser for race at Homestead Sun May 28 w no banking.

Was testing a bit today, I'm a little rusty but it's coming off well.

Eric is doing 1:21, I did a 1:28 but just warming up.

Tomorrow I'll try to get down to 1:24. Got to "use the force"

These ground effects cars seem cross between car & plane. The faster you go the tighter you can turn, makes no sense but I keep pushing.

Gonna try to do turn 1 flat out tomorrow & go faster at turn 7 off the back straight

Holy crap. Talk about "When is a Corvette no longer a Corvette?"
That's quite the serious piece of hardware.

Is that the diffuser Multimatic did for the DP's? Looks to be missing the bit around the gearbox.
