APR-equipped RX-7 Sets the TTS-ST2 Track Record

One of APR's customers, Scott Howard, has updated us with some great news about his new APR canard installation.  Having already set a track record in his class using just the APR splitter and GTC-300 wing, he went out again after adding a set of APR canards and saw his previous record time drop by an additional half second!


Scott Howard's 85 Mazda Rx7

Track enthusiast Scott Howard said:

"Here are some pictures of my 85 Mazda Rx7 with your front splitter, canards, and GTC-300 wing.

There is no doubt in performance improvements with your products.  I can go deeper into braking zones, turn in quicker, and carry speed better through corners.  The added stability and down force give me confidence to drive the car harder, especially at high speeds.

The last Willow Springs event in July was our first with your front canards.  Our previous best time with splitter and GT wing was 1:28.8, we saw a .5 second improvement after the canard install. I still hold the TTS/ST2 Willow Springs track record with a 1:28.2.

The greater corner exit speeds have led to increased speed on the straights regardless of any slight increase in drag.

Thanks for providing a great product."

Here are 4 short clips of my first Time Trial session at NASA nationals this year in Mid Ohio.  I was still learning the track in this session:

Front Wind Splitter

APR Front Wind Splitters play a critical role in balancing the front/rear downforce of a car.  Reinforced by carbon fiber, these splitters provide the horizontal surface needed to maintain higher air pressure at the front of the car.  This higher pressure helps to produce net downforce that increases front-end grip and stability.  Click here to learn more about our Front Wind Splitters.


Front Bumper Canards

APR Front Bumper Canards are perfect to aerodynamically tune the handling for the front of a car. Made of lightweight and durable carbon graphite composites, APR Front Bumper Canards help increase front downforce at high speeds. The added downforce stabilizes the car's chassis during hard cornering and increases traction for faster lap times.  Click here to learn more about our Front Bumper Canards.
