Track length at WORM is about the 145m mark from memory (might be longer now, but can't remember precisely...must get Kev to walk it again with his wheel sometime!)...best laptimes shown on our website results come in at around the 25 secs mark...do some simple maths to get a rough idea of an average speed!

145/25=5 metres per sec

5x60=300 metres per minute

300x60=18,000 metres per hour = 18km/hr = 11mph average over a lap!

Maybe you should start out by finding out what speed the aero design actually comes into play and is effective! That would tell you at which points on a lap it could have the biggest impact.
