Unbelievable -- When the Shift Hits the Fans of the Friction Paradigm
|
When introducing a totally new concept (paradigm), people have a hard time believing it can make that big a difference...especially when it looks so simple. Inventor, Ed Dellis, explains the challenges he faced when introducing custom-molded steering wheels to racing.
Drivers can now design their own steering wheel grips with a heat gun and change it at anytime. |
They can even return to an earlier design if they don't like the way one came out. In April 2013, at the Annual Steering Conference in Berlin, Dellis hints that he will introduce special OEM program that will allow drivers of exotics -- Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin, Porsche, BMW, SRT, SVO, GM Racing -- to design their own steering wheels at the dealerships at time of delivery.
The custom-molded steering wheels will then be able to give drivers a much better feel for the way the tires grip the road....just like Dellis does for drivers in IndyCar, Formula One, NASCAR, etc. |
