Fleeman designed and constructed the national race-winning Virago series of cars, developing them to win the Midwest Divisional Championship in 1994, scoring 60 out of a possible 60 points in the 10 race season. </div> <bR> <div> (Center) Initially undertaken in 1990 as an aerodynamic study, the Virago series of sports prototype (closed wheel) cars became more noted for their mechanical innovations. Among these was the use of constant velocity joints located within the output bearings of the final drive.  This design not only allowed better under body airflow but also allowed the CV joints to be lubricated by oil rather than grease. By 1994 all Formula One teams had adopted this design.  Shown is the Virago D97.</div> <div> (Right) Fleeman's innovative Vixen FC98 Formula Continental design ( Right) relied  heavily on his experience with wind tunnel analysis and computational fluid dymanics (CFD). A direct descendant of his 1970 ground effects FC design, the Vixen won in its race debut. Fleeman won the 1998 Alsbury Award from the Sports Car Club of America for technical achievement. Fleeman is the author of some fifty nationally published articles regarding motorsports and race car design.    </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id36.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS"><U><B><BACK></B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <div>  </div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
