Forward cabs - Do they work?
Everyone seems to using forward cab shells now, considering the shape of them they should give more front end.
I was wondering how fast does the car have to be going to feel a difference, does just works in sweepers? Also is it just that it only really can benefit the top drivers and everyone is copying thinking it will make them drive like Lee Martin ect, or is there a clear advantage even for club drivers?

On my 8th scales I could never really tell much difference, but I back to back tested with my FS2 SP and it was night and day; the cab forward has much more aggressive turn in, and rotates so much more than the standard aero shell does. I have to admit I thought it was a gimmick for a long time, but now, for 10th at least, I'm convinced.

they make a huge difference,and work at lower speeds than even we thought they would, and we've tested them indoors at outdoors,

Some examples work on some cars with some setups. When they work, they really do make a visible difference.
But that said I'm far from convinced that this applies to all cab forward shells, or even that the better examples are always a good idea - its really more of a tuning tool and I'm sure there are places a traditional cab is more suitable. In the main its a fashion thing though. Lots of cab forward shells appearing that probably aren't as aero-tuned as something like a Proline Bulldog so most likely don't make the difference people claim.

Yes they do. They create an area of low pressure in front of the screen, this gives a forward balance shift. They are a great tuning aid. I'm no top driver and I can tell the difference, if you want a little more front end stick on the cab fwd shell.

I'd be quite interested to find out which shell was tested first, and which was the fastest...

No is the simple answer, you would just have less rear.

I run a 210 and they have a lot of steering put a cab forward shell on and the steering just turns in so agresively, so yes they do work!
