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 |

Just a comment, I was able to purchase a real ALMS Flying Lizard Porsche 997 GT3 RSR Factory Wing from the Flying Lizard Team car #44. This wings mounting plate was cracked. It became garage art. What you will see in the photo's are that the wing is bent in the opposite direction to fight off the tendency to want to bend.
This is a Porsche numbered part starting with 997, in the photo it shows the interior strengthening chords which are placed about every 8", the wing weighs less than 3 pounds and is stiffer than a Pay Day ^*%#er. My point is that all the wings I see are straight across and this one is bent in the opposite way to fight the tendency to bend. It also has an unbelievable wicker bill on it (Gurney Flap). It is a real cool piece and I love it and loved making the struts for it! Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |
