Which car in any category , do you think has the best aerodynamic body ?

It all depends on your definition of "aerodynamic":

• Lowest drag with the least amount of down force (you car will launch before reaching the banking)
• Medium drag with fair down force (your car will make it through the banking if you blip the throttle on entry)
• High drag but high down force (your car will be a bit slow in the straight but will lap faster than the other two combinations).

Depending on what you are trying to achieve, the bodies will be different.

Whilst not entirely relevant to how this thread started, permit me to say that two episodes spring to mind about slot car aerodynamics:
1) When competing in the BSCRA Nationals a few years back I saw the body of a 1:32 Eurosport become detached at the front. Even in this smaller scale, when it came to the main straight the car just flipped and took off. I hadn't appreciated that aero was so important. But a Eurosport ISRA-type car is really quick.
2) In testing a 1:24 BSCRA Production car of my own I ran it in two configurations. Firstly with a 'standard' Bentley Le Mans body (2001 or 2003 style). I thought I was going well until I swapped to a high-downforce tail something or other (and no, not a Wing Car). No comparison, it was way quicker through the corners and not noticeably slower down the straights.

Wing cars produce far more aerodynamic downforce than other slot cars - way more than the ISRA / BSCRA type cars Richard is talking about.
I guess Brad Friesner's world record holding wing cars have the best body aerodynamics.

Yes Don ,
That's the car Testors based their model on .....but but but .....they have the driving position on the left hand side , where as the Vauxhall is right hand drive. That's enough ammo to have it classified as a Thingie ? I have the same car in blue metallic .

All rather stylish, including the Opel GT.

What chassis is under the green one Zig?
That other one is the open wheeler one, not the Mantaray by the way, sorry the name of it escapes me at the moment! I only received them from Patto's along with some decals today mate so give me a chance!😉 I'll get some colour on them soon.
Cheers,
John.

Viper, the one that came out after the Manta Ray.
