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…  |

Starting to provide down force at 50-60, serious at 100 and above.
Almost nothing at 30... Front splitters work sooner and are usually more effective. A small splitter will need a BIG ASS wing to balance the car. At the speeds you're running a spoiler at a serious angle would be my first choice. Like this https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/articles/...ps-aero-expert/ A large high angle spoiler has serious drag. Below 80 it's the ticket IMO. It looks ghetto but gets the job done and can be stupid simple to make. You can change the angle/length at will. A true rear wing works like an aircraft wing upside down and needs clean air more on the bottom than top, so it needs to be higher than anything that might affect the flow across the bottom of it. The wing will provide a better "down force to drag ratio" but is really best suited for 100+ speeds. Above 100 the spoiler becomes a HUGE drag versus a wing. |
