Looks like next year's Revival will include a 45 minute race solely for Cobras.  Sounds ( literally) like fun!  Apparently a grid of 30 cars is planned.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Cobra Cockpit Aerodynamics

« on: May 25, 2010, 21:03:27 »

   
   Car manufacturers used to tie bits of fluff to a vehicle to see how the aerodynamics worked.  Many of you have no doubt seen the 1960's pictures of Cobra Daytonas that show this.   John Norris is here demonstrating how a bit of fluff (with due apologies to the Rev Limiter - as it is not she ) sitting in the passenger seat can be used to similar effect on a MkIV.  As you can see by her hair the flow is forwards rather than backwards. Does this explain the slightly breathless feeling that you sometimes get when driving them?!
