Default Closeups of the GT4 ClubSport spoiler

You can see the ridge where the Gurney flap is attached.

I think someone mentioned they are replicating the gurney flap on planet9. Definitely need to get one.

Great photos. You were able to capture the weave and lines pretty well. I'm curious if they have to make different adjustments to the front aero to work with this wing.

Great photos--better than the ones I took.

I was there with a fellow club member who was previously a race engineer on some famous cars with Roger Penske. He noted the Gurney flap and commented (criticized) that it wraps around the edge of the wing leaving a ridge on the underside of the wing. That ridge looked reasonably sharp or abrupt and not appropriate for an airfoil.

My research has indicated that the flap is not a separate PN in the motorsport PET, that it is only available with the wing. One person I talked to on here indicated that it might be possible to replicate it in their shop - not sure if it'll be plastic or CF in that case - functional plastic preferred in my case due to lower cost.
RSS has an aftermarket set for the GT3 and are taking comments on GT4. Keep in mind that the OEM has been tested by PAG whereas an aftermarket version, replica or else, has not.

Nice photos--great bokeh.
Wouldn't you need a larger airdam/splitter in front to balance the aero?

Great Photos Pete
Thanks for Posting
Even with your great pictures its hard to tell ?
Is this wing Actual clear carbon fiber ? Or just like our wing (CFC , then painted) and then wrapped in a carbon fiber wrap like 3M makes ?
Regards
Ed

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a wrap over our existing stock spoiler. In the GT4 presentation it seems like this car is a combination of various off the motor sport shelf parts to keep the entry and running price reasonable compared to a Cup car.

It would be out of character for a new spoiler to be made just for this run of 360 (as per Porsche documentation) cars.

Does anyone know the part number for the wing?
