Nothing to do with balance. Cars produce lift because air has to take a longer journey to flow over the top than to go underneath, they're basically a shit wing. Presumably they feel without the wing that it gets too light on its feet.Mito Man wrote: Thu Jun 06, 2019 3:25 pm It must have shit balance if losing the rear wing means they have to reduce top speed by 20 mph.

Does someone really have to explain how a structure can be strong in one direction while not being strong in others?Nathan wrote: Thu Jun 06, 2019 3:58 pm Anyone else look at aero kit on cars and wonder how can it add 000s lbs of pressure if it looks like you could tear it off with one hand ?
An absolute unit

Obviously it works and you don't have wings flailing around
