Behind The Wheel Podcast: ALL AERO!!! ALL THE TIME!! FT. NINE LIVES RACING Mar 02, 2022

Show notes

On today’s podcast, we are joined Nine Lives Racing own Johnny Cichowski!

Established in 2007, Nine Lives Racing is originally a racing team and also a aerodynamics company specializing in CFD (cumulative distribution function) for vehicles and manufacturing of performance enhancing parts. Most popular for their wing kits and they also specialize in splitters, diffusers, and any other aerodynamic part to make you faster! The idea of making a more efficient aero wing came when Johnny Cichowski (Nine Lives Racing, Owner) worked at OG racing (Auto Racing safety gear manufacturer) as he was developing custom seats for Elan (maker of the NP01) and started looking at the extrusion they had made for their wing. Eventually they gave him one and he did some testing against a typical carbon wing. Turns out, the Elan profile added several MPH down the back straight and in turns at the Road Atlanta track. He decided right there to develop a more efficient aero kit. Started with making a kit for BMW M3 and the rest is history. On top of creating wing kits, Nine Lives Racing can also do CFD analysis and provide information and parts to complete the aero package.
