Red Archer VRT showcase their array of upgrades for Silverstone as the Greek team announce they will no longer develop their 2016 challenger.

The coming GP at Silverstone is one of the most expected for the Red Archer team. They knew well before that in this circuit they would be able to wear the last package of upgrades for their 2016 car.
With the season following one of the worst scenarios concerning race results the decision to stop upgrading the car so soon in the championship was possibly an expected reaction.

However the will for racing and competition has not stopped at all, on the contrary, especially after the best result of the season at Canada last week, Daniel Benefield and Mark Hutchinson will go after an other small miracle. This time wont be the same though.
While rain is still expected at Silverstone too the car will now be seriously upgraded.

Team mechanics have put huge amount of work to rearrange car gravity center and balance, hence car mass will be dramatically decreased. Only few changes which possibly most of the people will not notice are expected to give a aerodynamic boost of 20-30% increasing car top speed and grip in high speed corners.

Finally the team designer in cooperation with the mechanics introduced a special valve into the diffuser mechanism which can improve the airflow and allow better downforce almost by 20%.
One thing is for sure for one more season at GPVWC Superleague . . . Red Archer is delivering high end car and will fight to get the best joy out of it for the remaining of the events. Stay tuned . . .
