300 RWHP - gonna be a fun in a 1800 lb car, huh?!

so...thoughts on downforce? I'm gonna need a way to keep Papa planted. Need some ideas of a wing/splitter.

Pictures? Options?

Here's a picture of Papa Smurf:

APR makes some nice wings, they are used throughout SCCA, NASA, World Challenge, Grand Am, etc.

I sell a wing that is SCCA GT legal, I do a carbon version and Fiberglass version, the wing comes with end plates and you could cut your own as well, plus wing mounts. According to the calculations of my aero guy at 150mph it will generate around 400lbs of negative lift with a drag rating of under 40lbs.

I installed one on a GT2 RX7 and we ran it at just under 15 degrees for the first test session and the driver complained about the steering getting light at top speed. We had to back it down slightly to balance out the car with the front splitter. Driver liked it better with it down around a 10degree angle of attack.
