During design/testing on a track, they did try many different (including shorter) spoilers along with different nose cones and rear window covers. The evolution of the wing was in response to the rear of the car wandering dangerously. That height was needed to get it up into cleaner air for enough down force and the sides of the wing were widened and placed outboard to provide stability. Perhaps the debaters and "most experts" should have consulted the guys who created the cars.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539866203955644632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-51101189816260799412022-05-20T04:41:42.756-07:002022-05-20T04:41:42.756-07:00Yeah, but it was bad to the bone.Yeah, but it was bad to the bone.ghostsniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15644187165818782984noreply@blogger.com
