gundy Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 9.22. AERODYNAMIC DEVICES 9.22.1. Aerodynamic devices not to exceed width of OE bodywork (fenders, bumpers, doors) when viewed from above. Note: Side mirrors are not included in bodywork width. The question is , are fender flares considered aerodynamic aids? If so they can not exceed the original fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbogrill Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I think if fender flares are aero then they should be 10pts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the fender flares I have seen in this series are not exactly the most aerodynamic. F3nder flares are there to prevent tire to tire contact that can result in roll overs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were to attach some winglets to your flares, expect to remove them before being allowed on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear to the original poster, that was the stated intent of the rule. Almost every fender flare you will see in this series will not prevent wheel to wheel contact, but they will meet the rule. There are only 3 reasons you will see fender flares in this series, to meet the rule, aerodynamics, and/or somebody thinks they look cool.

Or they came on the car! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
