Default .1 RS wing adjustments

Interested in what angle others are using?

I have just increased mine to approx 1/2 what is possible but yet to try. It dawned on me that I had never seen a .1 RS wing steepened such that you can see the uprights.

I run mine up about 2/3 with a gurney. Can i feel it? Hell i dunno. Lol
although i did get some hot laps in the car by a certain factory pro and his comment while entering the riverside turn at buttonwillow a lot faster than i do “car has great aero grip” lol
run the Motorsport front lip too. No ducts.

I'm not sure of the exact angle, but I adjusted mine. If you look close you can see the top of the uprights are just barely showing with space between the wing itself.

Thanks for the responses.. I will post a photo of mine in the next day or so.

I doubt I am fast enough to feel the difference, but will find out this weekend.

No expert here. This information is based on what my shop has told me and my driving experience. The .1RS does not have the greatest downforce, especially compared to today's cars. If you add the cup front splitter you will gain some front grip which is good given the car has a tendency to understeer. Adding some wing at the rear balances the front giving you more aero, but still not a ton. Mine is a bit more aggressive than Brandon's but I also have adjusted sway bars and shocks (two-way) to get rid of the understeer. The easiest place for to feel the wing is stability in high speed braking. Hope this helps.
