@PSEM_Portugal Sounds familiar 😉

[Nathaniel Olson @Stealth_Racing]

@TeamBirdGP @rgshwGreenpower @greenpower_team @rgshw That'll depend on what age rating the simulator has.

[Nathaniel Olson @Stealth_Racing]

@TeamBirdGP @rgshwGreenpower @greenpower_team @rgshw Don't worry, I'm sure they will put in a 'floor falling off' option in for my car in the menu somewhere....

[Nathaniel Olson @Stealth_Racing]

To all of my rivals, if I do race again, don't worry I still have plenty of tricks up my sleeve!

Any questions, happy to answer them.

A bit of light entertainment for you all....

I thought I would share my report that I did for my university final year. It delves more into the aerodynamics of Stealth III and compares different designs in range of yaw angles with all of the data you can imagine!

@TeamBirdGP @PSEM_Portugal Stealth 2, low profile and simple. 3 not too far behind.

[Nathaniel Olson @Stealth_Racing]

@TeamBirdGP @PSEM_Portugal Can't tell, but is that a bell crank or a rigid arm coming out of the kingpost on each side? Seems an odd use of the rose joints. Lots of ways of making the steering turn, every car of mine had a different steering system but always turned intuitively ie push left turn right.

@rgshwGreenpower @greenpower_team @rgshw Something to do with the book it's sitting on.....? 😲

@PSEM_Portugal @TeamBirdGP @pod_movement @cliveallen92 Speaking of low noses, back in the day when I didn't know better and slammed the whole car low. Helmet almost below top of the 16" wheels. Ultimately you tune the nose to work with the rest of the body and with no need for downforce, flat-ish underside works best.

@TeamBirdGP @PSEM_Portugal @pod_movement @cliveallen92 How nice of you to post a picture with our car in front! The heavyweight vs some featherweights....

[Nathaniel Olson @Stealth_Racing]

@pod_movement @cliveallen92 @PSEM_Portugal It's not all about aero though.... Stealth II was 7.5 N at 40mph, but still was relatively 'slow' because of its weight and draggy small wheels.
S3 had slightly higher drag but did use the bigger wheels which gave more speed in return.

[Nathaniel Olson @Stealth_Racing]

@cliveallen92 @PSEM_Portugal @pod_movement So now that's more like it 😉 Full car, wheels, roll bar?

[Nathaniel Olson @Stealth_Racing]

@TeamBirdGP @greenpower_team @RenishawGP @pod_movement @PSEM_Portugal @Crazydiamond_gp Filling up all the holes you drilled for the final last year. I told you 86 was too many!

[Nathaniel Olson @Stealth_Racing]

@pod_movement @TeamBirdGP @Greenpowertrust @RenishawGP @DresselRacing @Kestrel_GPT @JLRDriven Wasn't there when I looked 😉

[Nathaniel Olson @Stealth_Racing]

@TeamBirdGP @BhasvicRacing @Greenpowertrust Sorry, that red brake light of a livery, that doesn't seem to be turning on and off, are you sure it's plugged in?

[Nathaniel Olson @Stealth_Racing]

@TeamBirdGP @BhasvicRacing @Greenpowertrust On track, I'm letting them off for this year. Off track, who knows what can happen in the paddock...

[Nathaniel Olson @Stealth_Racing]

@TeamBirdGP @BhasvicRacing @Greenpowertrust 38 kg.... Rookie numbers 😉

[Nathaniel Olson @Stealth_Racing]

@HorsfallRacing @Greenpowertrust @pod_movement @SgaRusko @JJDyson @chip_giles @mattbeee @HugoTLopes @Mykesbass @mjb258 @CAUC_SHS @CullimoreRacing @Kestrel_GPT Why isn't there an option for everything?

[Nathaniel Olson @Stealth_Racing]

@TeamBirdGP @Greenpowertrust Obviously hybrid theory, lowest car number and more 1s than I can count....
