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 |

Vysoc - Very nice piece you have there...very expensive new (and used) too!
One thing that hasn't been mentioned is matching the potential downforce to the cars ability to overcome it too. A serious wing/splitter combo will need some serious power as to not over-slow in the straights. This is my race cars original wing - it was waaayyy too much for the cars power and eventually replaced with the smaller unit. The large HSBC wing is an actual F! Jaguar piece - my car didn't have the 850 hp to push it through the air! F1 Jaguar Wing New "Stohr" Wing (only good pic I could find, I survived!) |
