Does your current design mean your wing would be inefficient at low AOA?

We would like to make this legal in most race classes. Most of the development to date is on the airfoil and endplates. Need to do more research on wing rules for different classes.
We are making a universal wing that can be used in multiple chassis platforms. However, the main chassis this is being designed around is the FT86 and the ND Miata currently.
"Does your current design mean your wing would be inefficient at low AOA?" Nope. Since you are pretty knowledgeable in the racing community, you know that aerodynamics can be peaky and have massive drop-offs in downforce. This is bad obviously when on the track. Wings have this same problem when it stalls. Stall happens when the downforce drops while drag increases. Our goal was to have a very "soft" stalling airfoil. Below is some data (numbers removed) to show a graphical representation of what I mean with soft stall. Hopefully my jumbled words make sense
