Lets go fast

If it were real it would be shooting for 500. this is Project X. A delta class lakester, The delta class is anything running a turbine or jet engine, lakesters are purpose built cars with open wheels. Its powered by a GE j8 turboshaft engine with a max output of 5000hp The car is over 90% hand built, the engine, seat, roll cage and rear dif are the only printed or salvaged parts. this one took me about two months work time, each chassis pc, is measured to the thousands if it has a matching pc, side to side. It could use more detail like a fire suppression system, logistics computer and wiring +other things a jet engine needs to run i dont really know about. But for now it has the basics to kinda get the point across.

... some awesome! How do they balance the load on these rigs? I imagine the slightest imbalance would impact performance, if not stability?!

Your very right. So much engineering just to balance them. After all the parts are figured out then its were to put them. Above sustained 300mph the world gets very weird for a wheel driven car, the down force has a nasty habit of making the rear of the car want to try and pass the front, its most problematic for production body cars, things cigar or wedge shapes suffer a little less but most incidents result in a flat spin, thats one reason they have rounded contact patch wheels with no tread so they have less of a chance to dig in and flip if they come around.
