Wing has been on this car for a while….but my son prefers something a bit more conservative. As I evaluate it, height may be a bit much.
In reference to roof, where should it be. Not constrained by any rules…. Anyone with knowledge or experience able to help? Front has Sheridan design damn/ spoiler. Thanks…  |

Wing height is a complex thing, but in general (and within reason) higher is better, especially on a car like a 914 that has relatively poor aerodynamics. Yours is probably at a good height.
There can be some advantage in a lower mounted wing on a car with underbody aero (a diffuser). Not relevant for you. See my avatar. I do have a large diffuser on my car, and mounted the wing low to allow it to interact with the diffuser. |
