  • - Also the drag penalties of the big wings: on the APR's website it clearly states that the design of the car (coupe, hatchback, sedan) has a lot to do with the height and width of the wing size as well as the power and the size of the car.. I am pretty sure you can gain a lot of grip in high speed turns but not sure about the rest of the track

This is the exact reason I was designing a wing that mounts to the rear tow mounts. The lack of interest and personal funds has directed me to other projects.
