TEAM DYNAMIK WITHDRAW APPEAL

The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport Limited was advised by Team Dynamik on 11 February 2005 that it has decided to withdraw its appeal to the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) International Court of Appeal.

The hearing at the FIA International Court of Appeal was scheduled to take place on 24 February 2005 at the FIA in Paris.

Interesting.

Probably has occured because Larry has bought the L1 at a discounted price because of the penalties they incur, and they have purchased the last remaining L2 franchises to race without penalties.

smithers · 18 Feb 2005, 05:34 (Ref:1229005)

Or is it because Dynamik can't afford all the costs involved in pursuing it?

Raglanparade · 18 Feb 2005, 05:40 (Ref:1229007)

or both

smithers · 18 Feb 2005, 05:42 (Ref:1229008)

Seems very strange that they would give up on something that where so sure about.

cav · 18 Feb 2005, 06:18 (Ref:1229023)

Probably withdrew because the same mob(albiet French) who convicted them would really be adjudicating on the appeal and out for the money as well

This might be the end of team Dynamik.

Ive said this before, but another forum member seems adament that Dynamik are not giving up there L1 and will be on the grid come albert park

I acnt understand why you would think it is the end of the Team, more likely they will be stronger and really they did show the flaws in the CAMS System by fighting so strongly for their rights. I reckon they will kick some arse this year.

mixxer · 18 Feb 2005, 13:06 (Ref:1229289)

So is that then to be interpreted that what they did was in fact outside of the rules ?

pete55 · 18 Feb 2005, 19:06 (Ref:1229598)

For someone to fight so much to clear their name and then just give up doesn't make sense. With the penalties imposed for the first two rounds this year it is highly unlikely they will kick too much arse this year at all.

One possibility is that Team Dynamik has been sold and there is no need to fight the penalty any more.

I dont believe they did anything outside the rules. How can anyone test a race car on a straight road, even a drag racer couldnt test at woomera as the surface would be un prepared. It is a fact that motoracing is around corners and that is what Teams strive to improve, ripping up and down a straight stretch of road wouldnt achieve anything except the paint testing they went there for. I dont believe they are selling the Team in fact I believe they are in rfor the long haul. Like I said I reckon the only reason they opted to withdraw the appeal was that it would have been adjudicated on by the same corupt system run by volunteers.

Actually, straight line testing is very important, especially where there are limited mods available to the aero packages on a car. Imagine the gains in performance that you could have if you increased the downforce by 10%, without and increase in drag.

Oh, and a little birdy told me during the week that TEGA have booked the airstrip at Woomera for the testing of the aero packages later in the year.

cav · 19 Feb 2005, 23:53 (Ref:1230449)

Real smart coment Datto,you would be pretty clever to be able to increase the downforce by 10% without radically changing the wings and if you did the drag would be naturally increased. This is a touring car we are talking about not an open wheeler. If TEGA are going to test at Woomera they are sillier than I believed.

**GTRMagic** · 20 Feb 2005, 00:03 (Ref:1230455)

Its not downforce that is being chased... its reduction in drag... the principles behind the products allegedly being tested are similar to the dimples on a golfball... which when aligned in the appropriate way, makes the golfball go significantly further than one designed even 10 years ago.

Reduce drag, reduce the load on the car to achieve speed, get to vMax sooner... car reduces laptimes... quite simple really...

1200Datto27 · 20 Feb 2005, 00:33 (Ref:1230466)

When you start out with only 50 or so Kg of front downforce, it isn't that difficult to make change to the car that will alter the amount of Df produced. Small things like changing the angle of the radiator, and support brackets, the rake and ride heights of the car, even the location of the NACA ducts in the windows will affect the amount of drag Vs. downforce produced. There are two teams that have made modifications (legally) to the area around the front splitter to increase the downforce produced (one Ford and 1 Holden) and those two teams happened to place 1st and 2nd in the championship.

peckstar · 20 Feb 2005, 02:37 (Ref:1230500)

apparantly having a mirroe on each side increases downforce, now who has a mirror on each side (its definatly not skaifey, he has absolutly know idea what is down the left hand side of him
