Im at the track this weekend and the only thing I see different between the aero on the gt4 and clubsport is the wing? 1. Has anyone put one on yet? 2. Are there any differences in air distribution underneath the cars? Thanks

 

They run more rake on the clubsport cars to attempt to balance out the additional downforce produced by the CS rear wing.

 

I was wondering the same thing after seeing a few at a POC event 2 weeks ago.

 

that makes sense

 

I think Dundon tried it on a street car and didn’t like the balance.

 

Both SP Motorsports and JCR have experience running the 718 GT4 Clubsport wing on the street car and sell it as an available accessory for 981 and 718 GT4s.

I'm sure both SP and JCR can provide recommendations on suspension and aero needs to keep things balanced.

Thanks I will check them out.

 

We always ran very skinny on the rear wing, it's impossible to get the splitter heights achieved by the race cars so there's a limit to how much angle you can run whilst maintaining a nice balance.

The reason we ran that wing was not to add vast amounts of downforce, it was to achieve a larger range of adjustment. The last thing the 718 needs is a huge rear wing and a. big increase in rear downforce.

We ran a lot of rake too, it's always a balance between splitter, rear floor, rear wing. This Clubsport wing allows you to get the car into an aero window which is otherwise not achievable with the stock wing for a number of reasons

I have a 718 GT4 OEM Clubsport wing on my 718 GT4 regular street car. It fits just fine. I don't have any before-and-after experience with it on track, so I can't tell if it's any faster than the original street car wing. I think it looks a little off in all black, so I'll probably have the blade portion painted red to match the car.

 

Well it's definitely cool looking, if nothing else.

 

Nice. Where did you buy it from?

 

Deman Motorsport supplied and installed it for me. It was a used take-off piece from a Clubsport.

 

A buddy of mine has done this and it looks incredible. Let me see if I can get him to chime in!

Thanks brother 🙏🏼

Here’s mine.

It took a while to achieve a balance and now I’m running a good amount of rake. I’d like to do more tweaking next season.

And as someone else mentioned, it’s a big wing and the black composite overwhelmed the look of the car so I added the gold 4.0 to balance it out.
