One at 100mph and one at 90mph (10mph) difference is huge. Imagine doing that throughout every corner of the track. Pretty soon you are going to be lapping the other guy without the Aero.



What even is your argument? Or what exactly don't you understand. I have tracked my car with and withouth the Aero. My setup is based on already proven setups...not understanding what you are even doubting to begin with. You asked how I came to needing a GT wing or thinking it was useful. I told you. Until you experience what it is like, for yourself, then perhaps you may not understand. I didn't put it there because I thought it was "cool". I didn't mount it on aluminum sheet metal plates on the body because of the look. It is direct feedback from Pro Time Attack drivers driving or building Track tC's.
i wasnt arguing. you asked a question and i answered it. i was never even saying that the wing was pointless i was just curious as to how you came to the conclusion it was necessary. all anybody has thrown at me are these fictitious scenarios with arbitrary numbers tied to them.
