Have your team study f1 mirrors maybe. The pagani zonda has some cool ones too.

Mirror 1 looks trick and does the trick (cool when works out like that!). Dig the painted top w/nart stripe, too ...

For wheels, are you using the OZ Superturismo LM?

I like the look of mirror #4 the best, but would go with whichever one offered best aerodynamics and least vibration.

Least heat absorption for roof color.

I'm with Wax.

I appreciate all thoughts.

If you have to run ballast, is it permitted for it to be moveable? You could affix the ballast to rails underneath the car (but above the under tray) and when going around a left-hand corner, use servos to send the ballast to the left - and vice versa. You could also have some running fore and aft to send ballast to the front or rear of the car to try to keep the weight distribution a little more level.

All the best,
Andrew.

Ballast has to be fixed.

Ok. Where would you put it? Evenly distributed on the corners, as close to the centre of the car as possible, or would you put it in locations to try to even out the weight distribution?

All the best,
Andrew.

That's one to ask on our Facebook site as it's
monitored by our engineers.

Done - I'm looking forward to their response.

Another child of the 80's here, I vote for the Testarossa-style mirrors.
