My car won’t go fast enough to generate downforce from an aero aid That or its driver can’t drive it fast enough to take advantage of the downforce from an aero aid...
I personally love Bob Nelsons wing. the height of the wing being almost level with the top I love. If I had the time, I might do something like the dallara wing. i do like the larger and my "look" is more of an obnoxious semi-racer/mad max look rather than concourse.
Odie
I personally am going for looks (i like the wing look) but it got me thinking about actual function. with the quick drop after the targa bar, would one make a difference more than another. so far according to Steve, he sees a bigger benefit from the wing.
just sparking up conversation and hope to learn
I used to think at American legal speeds, there can't be any effect worth mentioning - but then I got a helmet for my m/c that has a little ducktail on the back - wow, no longer does the helmet try to suck itself off my head! So, yeah, what Steve H. said.
Actually, that's not true. A wing begins producing lift as soon as there is sufficient flow to produce the Bernoulli effect. How much effect is dependent on velocity. The real question is whether the driver is capable of extracting the resulting additional performance at a given speed.
I remember having to cover the wings with a blanket on a Mod Class autocross car when weighing it outside in the Kansas wind. A gentle breeze would produce enough downforce that you could see the numbers change on the scale's display.
Seems I've always heard that around 60MPH is where any significant aero effects begin to happen. Not sure if that is current info, and there would be a ton of other factors to consider. But as a general rule.I used to think at American legal speeds, there can't be any effect worth mentioning
