I'm working on a track car that will primarily be used for hillclimbs and track events (high speed stuff) with autocross being secondary.
I've been studying and researching aero modifications till I'm dizzy and wondered what options others are using besides the GT racing predator wing? If you have real world experience I'd love to hear what you're using, mounting tips/ pics, and thoughts in general. I'll be running in classes dictated by displacement only, so rules will not be a limiting factor to size, shape etc. Thanks for your time, Andrew |

Here is what I choose to do after much research...
Started with G-Stream wing - wind tunnel tested and proven wing profile - and costs a bit. I had my struts and uprights built from scratch for strength, adjustability and removal. The mounts are secured to the core and the aero-tube is simply to break the air. Lots of work (too much really) went into this set-up. The wing is capable of producing up to 600 lbs of downforce and is effective with speeds as low as 60 mph. |
