Kipper Jnr Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Are you breaking the regulations if you run without an aeroscreen/windscreen at curborough? The reason i ask is that i have a vx aeroscreen ordered from caterham but they are not due in until after the weekend . Rob Ford: Engineered for life - built to rust!!

Kipper Jnr Posted August 21, 2003 Author Share Posted August 21, 2003 Just read the curborough SR's ☹️ Ignore previous question. New questions: What constitutes an aeroscreen? Does it have to have specific dimensions? Ford: Engineered for life - built to rust!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 It is to be of a type commonly fitted to our type of cars, so a VX Race screen or similar would satisfy the regs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver 21 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Kipper Jnr Mav is correct, it has to be an aeroscreen that has been fiited to a Caterham, so brroklands style, JPE, Race screen, interchangable etc. PS there is no advantage whatsoever using an aeroscreen at somewhere like Curborough 😬 Graham Competition Secretary Lydden , Curborough , MIRA , Llandow , Loton Park , Curborough, Aintree...5 down, 2 to go ands its all getting very close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Agreed I tried this a few years back and found my trap speed across the finish line to be identical with and without the screen. I suspect it would make a small difference at MIRA though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenEvans Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 it wouldn't surprise me if an aero-screen is worth half a second on a double-lapper given that a full screen is acting like an air brake all the way around and sapping power every time you need to accelerate Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Aeroscreen at MIRA was worth about 4 mph through the speed trap in a class 1 car. MikeW 1600 VX Black/Ali Race No 134 Membership No 6582 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Mav Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 i think other people have mad their own NNuts Anyway for some reason Mav is developing a twitch and is lunging at the laptop.........I think i'd better pass it over to him so run run for your lives 😬 Viv Wishing i had my own seven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Nuts Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Thanks Viv, I just checked the regs and I quote: "26 All cars must run with a windscreen which can be of the “aero” type or plastic if required." so home spun penny pinching types (I'm a Jerseyman me eh?) must be OK.
