Hey Charlie, have you done any back to back testing of the wing? Does it really make any difference to the rear end grip through corners? What speed do you need to be going for it to have any improved grip?

Hey mate, no testing was done on the wing but I can assure u it works. Driving it hard on the street the rear feels light and unstable at speeds. I was gonna do some testing first track day but I decided to just put it all together how I built it and try it from there.

U notice the grip saw for instance around turn 1 and 2 at QR and coming though thre back section at lakeside and under the bridge.

Ofcourse it will work better at higher speeds but that's usually a given. I dnt think I'd ever want to do a track day with out it now seeing tht I'm use to how it handles.

Was just wondering that if it had an effect, it would also cause tremendous drag, but with sh*t loads of power (aka F1 cars) then grip is the issue, not power. Do you think the always drag is worth the sometimes extra grip? Eg. You might be quicker round the track without it!

I'd so much rather have a stable car with the wing then a twitchy car without. It's here to stay. Even if it is causing drag that doesn't bother me. I have power and straight line speed to deal with that do I don't see it as a problem.

Times don't bother me around the track. As long as I have fun and can drive it home at the end of the day I'm happy. I'm no f1 driver trying to gain every second possible.

Solution: build your own drag reduction system (DRS)

[charlie_91]

yeah i should hey.. that would be the only logical answer

I think that Jason will give your car priority over mine as I do not need mine till 1 August. It will be a bad day for Jason if both cars are in for urgent work at the same time
