In the rear, behind the enlarged
ZL-1 Corvette engine which drives the car, are the two vane-axial
fans powered by an additional small two-cycle engine. When the fans
are running they evacute a large area under the car, and it's this
suction which provides the incredible downforce. |
The skirts (at the feet of the
mechanics both on the left and right), made of General Electric
Lexan, are articulated to move independently of each other to maintain
the best possible seal between car and ground. To make maximum use
of all this downforce, the widest tires made mount to the 2J. Three
and one-half feet of tire width will grace the rear of the car. |
