Everyone seems to using forward cab shells now, considering the shape of them they should give more front end.
I was wondering how fast does the car have to be going to feel a difference, does just works in sweepers? Also is it just that it only really can benefit the top drivers and everyone is copying thinking it will make them drive like Lee Martin ect, or is there a clear advantage even for club drivers?

Maybe they don't make your car faster, but they just say it will make your car better/faster?

On my 8th scales I could never really tell much difference, but I back to back tested with my FS2 SP and it was night and day; the cab forward has much more aggressive turn in, and rotates so much more than the standard aero shell does. I have to admit I thought it was a gimmick for a long time, but now, for 10th at least, I'm convinced.

No is the simple answer, you would just have less rear.

I run a 210 and they have a lot of steering put a cab forward shell on and the steering just turns in so agresively, so yes they do work!

I ran my 410 today with my new PL Bulldog shell, I was going to do some back to back after the morning meeting. But weather stopped that, So far It felt as though the car handled slightly differently from the stock shell. BUT.. I have not raced in a few months.. so my thoughts may change after some more testing. But so far, Im pritty sure it seemed to have a slightly more agressive steering feel to it. But I wont to do some back to back before I would confirm my findings....
In a nutshell, think most of them work and can suit some cars/driving styles/tracks. But dont think it would be the top choice for all tracks thats for sure. |

back to back tested 2 210 against each othter one with sandard on with the bull dog.
when running the bull dog it was easier to tuck up the inside of the standard shell car. Short straights and the main straight stadand shell pulls away nearly 3m on the straight, front wheels skipping, with a nervous feel. Bull dog planted and feels safe. If a little slower. Tried both shells on both cars and were run together, generally over the whole lap not a massive difference. although you could defenatly see on tje track where each shell was better. Cab forward was a bit easier to see which is a definate plus!! |

Yes they do. They create an area of low pressure in front of the screen, this gives a forward balance shift. They are a great tuning aid. I'm no top driver and I can tell the difference, if you want a little more front end stick on the cab fwd shell.

I'd be quite interested to find out which shell was tested first, and which was the fastest...
