Art Car Parts Listing...plus ReVerie CF Rad Support

Customers have been calling us looking for a comprehensive listing of the parts we have been running on the Art Car.  We've had a great season in Lotus Cup USA this year campaigning our Art Car with Glen Irani.  We've created a separate page on our website listing each of the parts on the car.

We've added the ReVerie radiator bracket to the car.  This required significant modifications including cutting off the stock crash structure.  For this reason alone, we DO NOT recommend it for street use.

Mitch developed new shrouding and ducting for the proRAD.  We ran it at Spring Mountain and then again at Buttonwillow.  Water temps remained low and the new rad position was excellent.  Unfortunately our Dogbox broke which shorten our full test.

We now have a new conventional transmission kit from PB Racing: stronger and shorter gears AND better syncros.  We should be testing this kit shortly.  PB Racing have had excellent results in Lotus Cup Italy with this kit.  They found the kit to be a proper upgrade over stock without the complexities or maintenance headaches of a sequential or Dogbox kit.

Atom Rear Wing Progress - Strut Fitment Ver2

Steve from Aerosim stopped in yesterday to fit the latest version of the rear strut. He came out a month earlier and we learned a few tweaks were in order. This version fits well so he will machine the second piece along with the horizontal brace.

These pix show the aero features like the knife edge along the trailing edge of the strut. Notice how the struts are hollowed out but not completely cut through for weight savings while maintaining better aero. Can you tell that Steve worked on the aero on the last Lotus F1 car?

The rear wing is the dual element carbon fiber wing from ReVerie. It is super stiff, strong and a ridiculously light piece. This 5.5lb wonder is properly made from prepreg carbon fiber and autoclaved.

I am opting for the TMI front wing for my Atom. They've sorted a cost effective solution so I will have their front solution with our rear wing. We'll spend some time dialing in the balance as soon as I have them on the car.
