This wing is targeted to be very efficient and make no more than 300 lbs at around 120 mph. The goal was a wing that provided efficient downforce that would not damage the trunk. We specifically targeted the strongest area of the trunk to mount the wing and also are reinforcing that area. Most guys who go to the track do not have a dedicated race car. Dedicated race cars can do chassis mounts where you can get serious with downforce levels as usability of the car can be limited. The wing is designed to be another piece to our kit and be able to be balanced with our front splitter, front endplates, and dive planes (depending on rear wing angle of attack). It is a system that is all designed to work together.

What I consider high downforce? Depends on the car/setup.
