Any Cayman race wings available anywhere ?
Not the street style wings but more along the lines of a Cup style wing or the ITC series or the Cayman Interseries cars.
If not I guess I will just be making my own and then may even try to do a lighter rear hatch as well with a lexan rear window.

Thank you in advance.

You can buy the Interseries wing through Napleton Motorsports (~$3K all in). Not sure about the ITC part(s).

My CaymanSpec wing, uprights, and attachment are custom (built by Vision Motorsports in Laguna Hills, CA).

Napleton Motorsports now sells their Interseries rear wing along with other aero parts to the general public. Contact Joey Buonsante if interested (gbuonsante@napleton.com). I will be ordering mine soon. Its $3200 for fiberglass or an extra $300 if you want the top and sides in carbon.

Any idea which wing Vision is using for yours ? What was the approx cost ?
Thank you,

Krokodil

I do not know who manufactures the wing element. I do know that it is a part made for Vision to align with POC V-Class rules (9.75 x 60). Avaialble in CF or FG. I beleive the element is ~$700. Cost on the uprights, etc was at his labor rate (adjusted for some R&D) as this was the first for a Cayman, so...

Call Dwain Dement @ Vision for more information - 949.770.2888

Uprights and attachment are one off. The hatch attachment is done through 4 posts that pass through the top plate of the hatch (located by the hole and welded/riveted guides) and bolts to the lower plate from the bottom. The bolts sit directly on the chassis to transfer the load.

Here is another photo from the rear:

Have you reduced your times by much is my question I reckon?

Tough to say as the wing was mounted at the same time we did the race car conversion.

For reference:

3200#, no wing - 1:32 (WSIR), 1:41 (Laguna Seca)
2900#, wing & splitter, higher spring rate - 1:27 (WSIR), 1:37 (Laguna Seca)

I believe the aero did improve fast lap, but is more important helping maintain consistent lap times throughout the race and creating a car that is easier to position on the track.

Nice numbers on the before and after. Could you feel a difference in stability @ speed while driving her?

Love Laguna Seca... such an awesome and beautiful venue.

Pictures of the actual Interseries Wing with a wet CF layup main wing element and CF layup end plates along with some anodized aluminum stands with cutouts and a FRP base. Between 11-14lbs for the entire assembly. Attaches via multiple screws to the rear hatch on the Cayman.

BTW: The wingspan of the main wing element is about 50 inches.
