Drilling Holes in the Sides of Wheels

It would be interesting if we could duplicate the surface finish of a bicycle TT disc wheel on a PWD razor wheel, but the wheels are scaled down, the air molecules aren't!

It probably wouldn't make any improvement, though. The disc wheels need to be moving at around 30 mph before they release the air, our cars might not be moving fast enough for the effect to function.

Hold On BR!
Isn't that what people used to say about aero on these little cars too?

I'll probably leave that for you to prove, Joe! With your knowledge of plastics, you should be able to make some killer razors I would bet.

I'm on it!
