Cartel Chassis built the car's Roll Cage. Constructed of 1.750″ x .120″ DOM steed tubing the Cartel Chassis roll cage is based off of FIA rally car designs. The cage's quality is top notch, completely TIG welded and in the process of building the cage Cartel also seam welded the chassis at the same time.

| The Evo VII front bumper looks cool with the Alumalite front splitter and front brake vents. |
Professional Awesome constructed the Front Splitter from Alumalite, an aluminum/plastic honeycomb material. The splitter is constructed with rigidity in mind. The splitter is set at a 0º angle of attack and at the 5″ lip rule limit. The splitter is mounted to both the bumper and frame while being attached by easily removed pins in the rear.

| The rear diffuser is also constructed of Alumalite. The vertical elements act like vortex generators to keep the flow attached to the diffuser over a wider range of speed. |
Professional Awesome built the Rear Diffuser from Alumalite and set it at an angle of 7º. The rear diffuser is designed to maximize air speed under the vehicle to assist in creating downforce while also introducing air behind the car into a low pressure zone to reduce drag.
 |
| The Kognition rear wing is CFD designed and totaly functional. |
Professional Awesome also constructed a set of headlight deletes. Constructed from fiberglass and aluminum, the headlight deletes reduce approximately 7lbs of weight from each front corner of the vehicle, which helps in reducing the overall polar moment of inertia of the car. Professional Awesome also made some acrylic mirror deletes to save weight and to improve on the coefficient of drag of the vehicle.

| The fiberglass headlight deletes save weight from the front end. |
A Kognition Rear Wing made with 100% vacuum infused carbon fiber with a foam core was selected. The Kognition wing uses 6061 aluminum uprights and base plates to ensure maximum rigidity with a 68″ span and a 10″ chord. The wing's angle of attack adjustability ranges from 5º to 18º. The wing fixed a tendency for high speed oversteer and improved lateral grip an additional .2 g!

| The rear of the car is all function. |
As you can see, Professional Awesome really is the team that does more with less. For the 2011 season the team is hard at work refining the package further, specifically the car's aero. We look forward to seeing the team in action again at one of the Time Attack venues. We now leave you with proof of the team's awesomeness:
