Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA) is paying tribute to three-time F1 world champion Niki Lauda with their new T.50s. This is the more track-ready version of the T.50 road-going sports car unveiled in August 2020, but development of the two variants took place entirely in parallel. Gordon Murray, the brain behind the legendary McLaren F1, always had this even wilder racer in mind as well, with which his fan technology really comes into its own. Already debuting on the T.50 was a system that selectively extracts air from under the underbody and discharges it via a turbine-like outlet centrally at the rear. In the T.50s, GMA combines this with aerodynamics that have been consistently adapted for racetrack use. Lauda was employed by Brabham in Formula 1 in 1978, where he temporarily drove the BT46B Fan Car developed by Gordon Murray. He won the Swedish Grand Prix with this car. The presentation of the T.50s now took place on February 22, the birthday of Niki Lauda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extreme aerodynamics, 1.5 tons of downforce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the spoiler lip that protrudes further, side air deflectors are used on the front end. NACA air intakes in the front hood stream air to the brakes and interior ventilation. Above the wheels, venting louvres ensure balanced pressure in the wheel arches. Deep cutouts in the lower area towards the sills also help. A roof snorkel provides the engine with a ram air effect. Attached to it is a vertical fin, which calms the airflow towards the large rear wing at high speeds. The two diffuser elements to the right and left of the two exhaust tailpipes are particularly striking. Together with the 400 millimeter fan, the aerodynamics generate up to 1.5 tons of downforce.<\/p>\n\n\n
