Already have one on the Audi, a bit stupid unless your tracking it...

Yeh, this car doesn't go fast enough to warrant a wing never the less a motorized one

At what speeds would a wing be useful?

If you need to make Vr then a wing would be very useful...

because 10%

It's not because the car doesn't accelerate quickly that it can't go fast.

Yeah, I had issues with the actuators changing speeds. I am still working on a one actuator setup. I have it based on voltage from the speed sensor.

For rear downforce typically cars that are weighted lighter in the rear and RWD cars. Yes this is a RWD car but it was designed with enough downforce without a wing to sufficiently keep the rear from moving around at 65mph and above. No specific speeds but under body skids are more effective than a wing.

Like I said from the start, it is not a mod that helps "performance", it is a mod that satisfy the mind.

There are a few forum members that might respectfully disagree. Some people have found the car to be a little unsettling at high speeds on track, and have remedied it with more downforce.

Now that you mention it, when I am above 150km/hr ish, the car does feel a bit light... It would help if I had some downforce at those type of speeds
