Re: 4403 Teaser: Cirowheels

Thanks everybody for watching!

Yes, indeed we were inspired by airless tires...

We had not seen many of the one you posted here, they are pretty awesome, thanks!!

The concept of using leaf springs was used by my great grand father in the design of airless car wheels, so that was our initial inspiration.


Thanks for the positive comments...

The problem with this wheels is that there is still design iteration to be done, and at Week 3 we decided not to continue in the development of those because of time left... If throughout the season we can perfect them, you will probably see them in action in Oklahoma regional or Championship.

We will definitely have them at our pits, so if courious, go check them out!!

Greetings
