Build it. Modify it. Test it. Repeat. 🔧🏁
Albert Watson knows the endless pursuit of speed firsthand.
His search for the right hood louvers wasn't just about finding a part that fit. He wanted to know whether it worked, and why.

Because sometimes the best upgrades start with a question, a problem, and a willingness to get your hands dirty.
Racers, you know the cycle. 😂

That aerodynamic upgrade looks fast. But is it actually working? 👀
Albert Watson explains how CFD and two wind tunnels helped investigate the aerodynamics of a GT350.

Real testing. Multiple methods. Fewer assumptions.

You might not have a wind tunnel in your garage, but you can still approach your next track car modification with a testing mindset. 🏁

Adding a wing, splitter, AND hood vents? 🏁

Before you turn your track car into an aerodynamic science experiment, consider this:
Every part affects how air moves around your car.
Albert Watson explains why hood louvers can influence cooling, drag, and downforce, and why the entire setup matters.

More parts don't automatically mean more performance. 👀

Downforce, drag, cooling. Identifying the goal can help identify the direction and functionality that you seek.

Testing, then testing again. Make informed decisions!!!

Back at it. Still slow.

Happy to officially welcome @mobilis.club as the Parking & Storage Partner for the 2026/27 season. 🤝

What makes this one a bit more personal is that even before there was any partnership, the team at Mobilis were always welcoming, helpful and easy to deal with whenever I left the car with them in Bahrain.

So having them join the project this season feels like a natural extension of the trust and good experience that was already there from the beginning.

With the Camaro spending a lot of time in Bahrain throughout the season, it’s good to know the car is in the right place between track days.

Looking forward to having Mobilis with us throughout the season, on and off the track. 🏁

سعيد بانضمام Mobilis Club كشريك مواقف وتخزين للمشروع خلال موسم 2026/27. 🤝

والشراكة هذي بالنسبة لي مميزة شوي، لأن حتى قبل لا يكون بيننا أي شراكة، من أول ما دخلت سيارتي الكمارو عندهم في البحرين كانوا دائما مرحبين ومتعاونين.

فانضمامهم للمشروع هالموسم هو امتداد طبيعي للتعامل والثقة اللي كانت موجودة من البداية.

وبما إن السيارة بتقضي جزء كبير من الموسم في البحرين، يطمني أعرف إنها في مكان مناسب بين أيام الحلبة.

متحمس يكونون معنا خلال الموسم داخل الحلبة وخارجها. 🏁

Knee deep into the carousel at @racesonoma

An 80mph, 5+ story drop at 1g with nearly zero runoff is a great way to get the heart pumping 😂

Sonoma is a heck of a rush. But it certainly does catch prisoners, with wrecks happening often.

Walls in close proximity to the track curbs means the sense of speed at this track is the highest of any track in California, but there is a tradeoff - little to no room for error. This track has claimed more cars than I’ve seen at all California tracks combined. It takes an incredible (borderline stupid) level of courage to hustle a car on the limit at this track. I’ve had the pleasure of taking 100% stock street cars deep into the 1:50’s at this track and this mustang deep into the 1:40’s - both grant a rush that is hard to beat.

Who wants to see me cooking a GTD and a Corvette?

Very appreciative to @uber_garage for the opportunity to be part of the lineup for @iamautomodified.sg show at D’Marquee . Happened to see a model posing on my car & leaving a nail extension behind on the bonnet 😂 As usual I took pics of the Japanese car rides which are where my heart belongs. Rollout was a vibe that I don’t really have a thing for so I rolled out without drama. #HondaS2000 #internationalautomodified #yhisingapore #RacingS2000blog

Thanks @racelouvers another great product. Only had to trim one blade to clear the 80mm @vsracingparts
