[FONT=Times New Roman]Lighter, faster and more aerodynamic, the PRW F1K.12 is ready to race [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]PHOENIX, AZ – November 11, 2011 – With an innovative chassis and suspension design, the Phoenix Race Works F1000 racecar, dubbed the F1K.12, was announced publicly today with finalized computer-aided design images and is already in production. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Dustin Wright, Owner and Chief Engineer at Phoenix Race Works commented, “The chassis derives from the success of previous cars. The approach has relied less on iteration and instead has called for new ideas and optimized design of the aero package by utilizing advanced 3D computational fluid dynamics, finite element and suspension analysis tools. The past few years has shown that our car’s design was a model of performance, but there was room for improvement on the aerodynamic front. We have applied everything we learned building and racing the previous racecars and were able to make this the most aerodynamic and lightest car in class.” [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]The recently announced partnership between Phoenix Race Works and Edge Engineering has so far demonstrated progression towards the ultimate goal of producing the most dominate F1000 racecar in history and giving competitors the platform needed to secure a championship win. Improvements will more closely integrate the partnership, accelerating and ultimately delivering developments to the track in a shorter and more effective fashion. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]The Phoenix Race Works F1K.12 pricing is to be set at 52,500 depending on available options; however, Phoenix Race Works is committed to maintaining their reputation of providing the most comprehensive race package with no indiscreet pricing. [/FONT]

Contoured underbody employed in the F1K.12 design?
Or is contouring used for just the right and left underbody floors, below the side pods, outboard of the frame?
(I apologize for any erroneous terms I may have used; I'm open to editing for clarity, so fire away)
The line art shows what appears to be a shallow diffuser entrance beginning forward of the Main Hoop, which sounds like a great idea for this class!
