We are told much of the car was built around the aero package, is that correct?

CE: Andrew has been a massive part of this build, he was essentially the part that tied it all together and this has been integral in making Nemo what she is. When we started, we had very little idea of aero, and in particular on sedans.



In Australia, the classes competing are all very limited by Aero, they are so controlled they really have no Aero at all. When I spoke to G about it he said look to DTM and GT cars for inspiration. Then we met Andrew.

He saw the potential in Nemo immediately. As we t-shirt design service were working towards a car that was chassis-wise superior to most other TA cars, it screamed for an integrated Aero solution. Andrew spent 2 days at Brad’s looking at the car and coming up with solutions.



Initially it was solutions that he thought we could cope with. It wasn’t long before he saw we were like sponges that wanted more. He provided more and then started to push the boundaries of Aero. Andrew’s single goal is for Nemo to be the test bed to produce the highest downforce car that has ever been created, not just in TA but in any form of Motorsport or otherwise.

We, at Nemo-Racing.com are in for that challenge and have set out the next few years of plans to make that happen and to see how that can roll out into other Time Attack classes, like Nemo’s other 2 stable mates running in Clubsprint.



SA: With a car like this there must be an awful lot of sorting out once the car hits the track. Do you guys expect to hit the ground running and do you think the car will be competitive against the overseas teams by August?

CE: It has taken us 2 years to get to this point. The other day myself and Jacques, who has been a major part of the build, had a coffee to celebrate the 2 years since we started the project.

We still have alot to sort out; aero, suspension, reliability etc. Our advantage is having people from the V8supercar background data acquisition. Nemo, we believe, will be a test bed for that as well.



She has gone above and beyond, most forms of motorsport, in regards to data acquisition. We are monitoring and logging everything we can. We even have
incorporated Aero data acquisition, just for Andrew.

I know he is smiling when I say that, but so are Leigh and James in regard to Suspension data and also Nick in regard to engine data acquisition. We are not going to leave any stone unturned. We would, like everyone, like more testing time on the car, but with the adjustability of the design and the data acquisition capabilities, we believe we have a good plan that we are confident can deliver on and provide a good showing for the Australian cars.
