^ That FC looks like it should be going down a runway with that stupid wing on it.

Do you really think that wing is necessary. I sure don't.

probably not unless its a REALLY fast course
Some dude in an m3 tested it with weight tanks and a wing and said the car felt the same and the times were consistent with the weight of the wing in the tanks
Wings are cool looking.........okay well SOME wings are cool looking

The cars might not look great with the huge spoilers - but that and the increased AOA are avenues these cars use to generate significant downforce at not-so-fast speeds. I wouldn't use the same spoilers on a road course though.

Wings work at any speed, it's just that they become more effective as speed increases. Only real drawback wings have is the added weight which in 99.9% of the cars can be removed from a different part of the car within 50cm of the wing. The drawback of drag is is a side affect of the speed which is cancelled out by the positive effect of downforce. If it doesn't result in a netto gain, then it's time to go back to the drawing board.

i wonder how much down force those wings generate at 100mph. Im sure there is a decent amount of math involved in my questions answere. you think the wings that shineauto has to offer like the wangan generate any down foce? they arent tall like the black fc and fd are.
