Description
The Aero is a turnkey race car designed to race with NASA and SCCA, particularly the NASA ST classes, which are based on power-to-weight.
It uses a powerful and reliable Chevrolet LS3 engine from Katech Performance.
The Aero evokes the look of current Prototype sports cars, but at a fraction of their cost.
The key design goal was to produce a fast, reliable car that could dominate the power-to-weight classes in NASA, and also serve as an excellent track day car for those who preferred not to race in wheel-to-wheel competition.
In terms of race classification, it was designed to run in the NASA ST1 class, and within it’s own Superlite Aero Challenge national championship. It is easily adaptable for other classes, including Super Unlimited, ST2, ST3, SCCA SPO and ITE.
The Aero has a gross power to weight ratio of 5.50 lbs per HP.
NASA ST1 is the eligible class for the Superlite Aero Championship.
The overriding idea behind the Aero Championship is to foster competition with equal cars, so that driver and setup make the difference between winning or not, instead of finishing positions being determined by the amount a driver spent on the car.
One of the design goals for the Superlite Aero was very low maintenance costs for both normal wear items, and crash repair. The body parts are relatively inexpensive and available in parts form (as opposed to needing an entire body when a fender is damaged), the suspension is designed to dissipate energy by breaking away with minimal damage to the chassis and suspension parts, and each corner of the car in terms of suspension parts is mostly the same, so the spares list is greatly reduced.
Superlite say the standard engine should last at least two seasons of normal racing with no appreciable loss of power, if maintained correctly.
