Default Is it just me???

Who would be stupid enough to actually put their car on the rolling road at FF? last year they werent using a fan and we all know how much our cars suffer from heat, why would a magazine orientated event allow this to take place if they are enthusiasts????

i dont feel that a fan is sufficent or is it just me?

For those of you thinking:

"It's got to be worth a run ot the rollers on Sunday, apart from high ACT's, what else could possibly go wrong?"

How come you need a fan then? I know this is probably a stupid question but aside from the extra bit of power from the cooler air, why is it needed? Surely the cars don't get that hot doing a RR run?

Obviously I haven't a clue, but that's why I'm asking!

Your radiator only works with high velocity and volume air flowing through it Jay. A radiator is a heat exchanger.

The fins on your gearboxes and diffs etc are also there to dissipate heat into the airstream. 90% of rolling road fans are inadequate, including some of the bigger ones you see.
