Leaving drag out of the mix, Using the XP rules, is a wing more effective for getting down force than a spoiler. I've always assumed the wing is better, but have exactly 0 proof of this. The expense of a wing can go right through the roof (over 10K has been quoted).....this makes the cheep-assed spoiler look pretty good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
If a guy had a cross section pattern of an effective wing ( bling wings need not apply) DIY would make sense.....but is it worth the effort? Note: XP limits the total ( that would include a dual element) wing area to 8 sq. feet. |

I do not know if this will help you but I can at least forward photo's of a wing profile that is Porsche Motorsports designed.
I have the rear wing off of the 2010 Flying Lizards, ALMS #44 car, this wing had one of it's rear mounts cracked in an accident in 2010 at Lime Rock Park, hit from behind. I have a connection with the team and was able to purchase the wing.....after I signed a waiver. The piece is a work of art and is extremely light and very strong, really is a special piece and I enjoy drinking beer and looking at it. The detail inside the wing is all carbon fiber and aluminum, wicker bill is perfect. I made the uprights from studying photo's and have exact dimensions on the end plates. If you are interested in exact measurements of the wing PM me and I will pass them along. Hope this helps, but remember this is off of a 911GT3 RSR, this is not AX stuff.
