Fresh air driver vent
Have a 986 endurance race car and really struggle with how hot it gets in the cockpit. Anyone come up with a good solution for a fresh air vent for the driver? In my miatas I use a naca duct in the front side window which blows a tremendous amount of air on the driver and really helps a lot.

2. Top down 3. Bags of ice on groin area 4. Donna D'Errico in the passenger seat 5. Fashion NACA ducts to the ragtop Not necessarily in that order. :cheers: |
Have you looked at ducting it from under the dash? I have no idea how your interior is configured, but there are two decent sources from just below the windshield to flow air:

Very nice! Are those holes cut in your hood I see as well?

I used a similar setup in my 944 race cars, the cowl induction is fantastic, lots of air. Just remember to cover it when it's raining!
Just as an FYI, that modification is not allowed in PCA SPB racing. I wanted to do the mod when I built may car and had a long discussion with Walt F. at PCA. Below is part of an email response to me. "Tim - none of my rules committee colleagues are in favor of allowing any openings in this cowl/battery tray area to be used for cabin ventilation if the stock components are removed. I don't doubt that having these openings will move air into the cabin, but there are other ways to get it." To get around this, you could easily make a plate to cover the openings when racing with PCA. Again from Walt: "So your removable plate sounds like the way to go." |
