Interesting. The wing angle in that video looks much more steeply raked than is typical even on say a GT3 class car, which is probably why it has effects at lower speeds. Never seen a production car (excepting perhaps some exotic) with an OEM wing that steep. It would produce incredible drag at high speeds but then that is not an issue for gymkhana.
