If you were driving an oval track, could you move the vanes towards one side to create additional downforce on a specific corner of the vehicle? Just curious...

I don't want to tell you guys to ignore the number because the numbers are cool and interesting and neat to know... but this is way over thinking it. You're talking about 1% difference between front and rear bias on a computer model. Tire sizes, a piece of tape, track width, etc all effect the aerodynamics.
Yes, I would assume you can move the vanes to create a little additional downforce on a specific corner.
I think you are asking these questions from pure curiosity, which is great, I just think that some of you guys may take the data too in-depth. It is just a tool to help you properly decide what parts you would like on your car and how parts effect a standardized model that Paul and I use.
