I aim to present the results upfront for convenience. If you're interested in delving deeper, you can continue reading for background information.

Conclusions

To protect the Alcantara steering wheel on a 2019 GT3 RS, various gloves made from leather and polyester were tested. The leather gloves proved to be well-made and effective in preserving the steering wheel's condition. However, they were not compatible with the Porsche's touchscreen, which can be inconvenient for everyday use.

Drawing from my experience as a former avid mountain biker, I’ve found that biking gloves offer several advantages over leather gloves. They are typically designed with sweat-wicking properties to keep hands cool, are made from lightweight and comfortable materials, and are often machine washable. Additionally, biking gloves are available in a wide range of designs and are generally cost-effective.

While leather gloves offer...

Conclusions will be presented first to accommodate readers with limited time. For those interested in a deeper dive, the following sections provide background on aeroacoustics and a detailed explanation of the data collection process.

Conclusions

On-road testing effectively identified trends among the evaluated anti-buffeting devices, demonstrating that a commercially available solution, as shown above, successfully reduces interior cabin buffeting in a 2019 Porsche GT3 RS.

To achieve more controlled and precise evaluations, future testing should incorporate wind tunnel experiments and/or computational fluid dynamics (CFD). These methods offer a stable environment and can provide deeper insights into the flow physics affecting the dBA results.
