I've been away from GPL for a while (N3 mostly, when I have the time) and I was wondering if there are any complete carsets available for download that have winged cars. This would be what, 1969 or '70? Are there any around or in the process of being made? Any help would be appreciated.

There is a 1970 carset. It's a bit old now, and the wings never really came out right, But I plug it in for fun now and again. I believe you can get it from the GPLEA.

In article <01bff070$44d55be0$ea9c8ad1@default>, "Brett" <[email hidden]> wrote: > I've been away from GPL for a while (N3 mostly, when I have the time)and I > was wondering if there are any complete carsets available fordownload that > have winged cars. This would be what, 1969 or '70 ... If you mean the high wings on struts, that would be early 1968. There were none on the cars in South Africa in January 68 (when Clark won his 25th and last world-championship race). Every car on the grid had them a couple of races later, and then they were banned after the Hill and Rindt crashes in Spain. Read the extremely nice book "Lotus 49" by Michael Oliver for far more detail than I've seen anywhere else about the seat-of-the-pants "engineering" that went into those things. From one race to the next, Chapman was tacking on more and more wing, but they didn't have a clue what the real loadings were. There's a funny story in the book about one of the mechanics using part of a scrap sheet of aluminum, and then Chapman being furious because he'd intended to use that bit to tack on even more wing! It was so far removed from the kind of engineering we're accustomed to today, that it's hilarious (but it was quite deadly at the time).
