The conventional aftermarket aero parts are mainly designed for “dress up” purpose and
are inadequate as the performance parts for actual road racing or time attack.
J'S Racing collected the enormous amount of data for effective racing parts from our own
participation in the Super Taikyu Series from 2003 to 2004 as well as from other race
teams which used our aero parts. (In the class 4 on the Super Taikyu Series, we supplied
our aero parts to 4 teams.)
By constantly improving the existed version race by race based on the feedback from the
actual racing data, we have perfected the aero parts with outstanding effectiveness.
Not only the Type S aero system possess the essential elements like superior downforce
and cooling function, but also it adopts the current trend of utilizing the designs used for
the actual race cars.
It is a plain fact that a lower temperature of the intake air would lead to more engine
power. A inlet hole for the air intake has been created on the front of the bumper to
directly introduce a fresh air.
The best position of the inlet is front and closer to the round. By several trial and
error, we found the optimal position for the large intake inlet which does not obstruct
the airflow to the radiator. The result is a constant lower intake air emperature and
increased power.
In order to maximize the effectiveness of the fresh air, two versions of carbon intake duct are created. One is for the stock air cleaner box and the other is for the J'S Racing tsuchinoko air intake. (this performance parts is also actively used for the Super Taikyu Series).
Compared to the rear end with the wing, the front lacks the proper downforce.
Upon that point, J'S Racing drastically improved the front downforce by the following
design changes.
1) We introduced the front wing style used for the GT race cars in order to increase the downforce from the bumper itself. The bumper is consisted of two separate parts – the upper bumper and the lower front wing..
2) The flat panel design is extended toward the radiator core support.
As an option, we provide a dedicated twin canard which increase the downforce further.
(Due to the race regulation, only single canard is allowed in the Super Taikyu Series.)
An aero parts located close to the road surface has a possibility to contact against the curb
or surface. Even if it should contact the road surface, the strengthened structure and well
thought out installation method minimize the damage keeping the driver safe.
The clearance from the road of the Type S bumper is same as the one for the stockbumper. There is no need for a driver to be extra careful to protect the bumper on street
driving.
Even though the performance functionality is the first objective, enough attention is paid to the visual impact on the street. The carbon parts are used partially to achieve both the sufficient strength and an excellent racing look.
The parts are basically made of FRP. Substantial research and resource was allocated to
design this front bumper since it is the parts most likely to bear the impact.
The number of layers and the type of FRP fabric were considered carefully and
extensively. Based on the lots of crash data from the actual racing, the strength is
reinforced where it is needed, and lightness is emphasized where the extra strength is not
called for.
