Influence of Side Spoilers on the Aerodynamic Properties of a Sports Car
https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/12/24/4697/htm

Abstract
This paper discusses the capabilities of side spoilers to improve the aerodynamic properties of a sports car exposed to a non-zero yaw angle flow. In such conditions, the aerodynamic drag and lift both increase with the introduction of a side force and a yawing moment, which contribute to the decrease of the car’s handling properties and force the car to change its driving path. Elements mounted on the side of the car make it possible to obtain an asymmetric aerodynamic load distribution and generate additional forces that can be used to counter these effects. The performance of the side spoilers was analyzed at yaw angles ranging from 0° to 15° using the results of numerical calculations. It was established that the side spoilers made it possible to generate at low yaw angles aerodynamic forces that exceeded those caused by a crosswind.

The 959's simple five spoke wheels were originally built with a special 'Denloc' bead design to keep the original Dunlop tires in place during hard launches. Canepa, years ago, developed a machining process to allow the original wheels to accept a traditional tire bead and modern compounds. The current crop of 959sc have been fitted with these modified 17" wheels, but Canepa has produced a visually identical wheel in an 18" diameter (at great expense, it should be mentioned), and will be fitting them to all 959sc models, with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, naturally.

Canepa’s 18” Porsche 959 magnesium hollow spoke wheels. One of the most iconic visual identifiers of the all-wheel-drive legend is its set of special 5-spoke wheels. Each spoke has empty void in its spokes to reduce excess material, and the entire wheel was made of the ultra-lightweight metal magnesium, making the wheels special and iconic. Porsche used 17” wheels on their production cars, but did you know that wasn’t the original plan? In this post, the silver wheels are the old 17” models and the dark grey ones are our new 18” designs.........................

We removed the tire pressure monitoring system which was sometimes unreliable. Lastly, we had our designs TÜV tested to ensure their strength and integrity for safety. And the greatest part? No modifications are needed to ANY Porsche 959 to use them.

Tyler was a poor CCS student when he did that, got a job in a big three design department after graduation.

His other (earlier) paint scheme was similar to an Eddie Van Halen guitar.

Thanks for the info... very entertaining dude.

Bugatti Type 251 Grand Prix '1956

The final resurgence of the original Bugatti was the Type 251, completed in 1955. Designed by Gioacchino Colombo of Ferrari fame, it was powered by a new 2.5 L (2486 cc/151 in³) straight-8. Uniquely, this engine was mounted transversely, behind the driver. For the first time in a Bugatti, an oversquare engine was used with a 76 mm bore and 68.5 mm stroke. A de Dion tube rear suspension was also a novelty for the company, though it was in vogue at the time. The Type 251 was entered in the 1956 French Grand Prix, driven by Maurice Trintignant, but was not competitive and retired after 18 laps.
