Sick car!

do these huge wings on time attack cars actually have testing to back up their function?

ive never seen these huge wings on anything other than time attack stuff. is the whole idea behind them to get the wing out of the natural aerodynamics of the car to provide more grip?

Yeah I've never seen huge wings on anything other than time attack stuff either. I mean seriously, who comes up with this stuff?

i'm having a hard time following you on this one. those "time attack" wings are completely different and about twice as high as the car you posted.

japanese super gt cars don't even run wings that ridiculously high. this forum is turning into nasioc

Chill with the stupid nasioc comments. He was just goofin anyways.

I'm sure they are functional and provide downforce... or why else have em? I'm not sure where I'd be able to find any testing to show proof but I'll try searching some as this got me interested also.

big wing for down force check this

Back in '96 or so, BTCC allowed wings as long as they were below the roof line. Volvo immediately switched from this...

to this.

Last season on Top Gear, The Stig (aka Micheal Schumaker) spun off the track in a supercar of Swedish descent, IIRC.
He "said" (via Clarkson), that if the builder put a wing on it, he could run 4 secs a lap quicker.

They did.

He did.

That AMS car is a beast. But you call those wings? This here's a wing:
Not only does it provide downforce, but it also can block the view of all drivers following it.

Now that's a wing.

IIRC, that was a new Unlimited Class record run. He finally beat Rod Millen's 10:04.

By the way...congrats AMS on yet another stunner.
