Sure, it will be a learning process and one we can work backwards on if necessary. At least we have that option. The main element can be run at 0 degrees if we so deem and the flap can be removed altogether. Plenty of options.

Here's a Lotus that runs a similar wing to mine. Not that this is a great comparison but at least it's a successful car with a big dual element wing.

The car has about 75x more rear down force than that front splitter could ever generate.

So much for a car that is perfectly balanced in stock form.

He's probably not going fast enough to really get the rear wing working.... because if he did, the car probably wouldn't turn.

BTW> What's up with the weird front wheels? It's like the re-barreled 15" wheels into 18" wheels. Very strange.

Not sure on the wheel choice. Also that's an Autocross car. As for not being able to turn, I am told that this is a 3 or 4 times National championship winning car...so you may say that it's not getting up to enough speed to initiate downforce but I suspect that it's a winning combination nonetheless.

Good Aero has a nice set up as well. They have a Wing and Splitter Combo that a bunch of NASA guys run.... Pictures on there site

Autocross = not getting out of 3rd gear.

I am looking for a wing this year as well. After developing the car as far as I could without one. I know the only way I can get rid of my high speed over steer issues at track out will be a wing. Same concerns as everyone else. I want as small and flat a wing as possible and still achieve the down force I need. I do like the Good Aero but its pricey and would like some other options.
keep me posted

Without trying to sound stupid, wouldn't the 968 Turbo RS Wing be sufficient? I figure if they use it on their factory race car, it's probably the best bet. No? Would it give enough down force? Would it slow you at top speed?

Well, the TRS wing was developed a while ago. I'm not sure how much work they put into developing it either. But I would side with you, that Porsche knows best (within reason).

From what I have read the downforce it made with that wing was not very much. It's more then a reg 968 wing which is almost nothing.It was a wing that again was designed based on a spec and not based on a clean slate.

Yep, understood. That's why I wrote that but look at the link. This guy doesn't just build wings for Autocross cars.

Here are some pictures of my new wing. I used this thread for reference quite a few times, so I thought I should make a contribution. The wing is an APR GTC-200 universal fit. I need to keep the wing under the roof line and within the footprint of the car. Here's the APR wing description with CFD etc.

The wing has to weigh what? A buck fifty? That should give some extra downforce at any speed.

Do they make them for men?

I see at the track you go to automatically puts a plastic sheet under the car to catch all the leaks
