Message: <blockquote data-quote="bigboystoys" data-source="post: 447105" data-attributes="member: 5287">personally, i feel that in terms of aerodynamics, what i'll do first is to reduce drag as much as possible, choose good designs to streamline the car, to create ground effects using diffusers, flat under carriage panels, etc etc.. if we can streamline the fluid flow ard the car, it'll really benefit/complement the addition of downforce wings..turbulent flow will just render the wing useless i'm afraid.. not to belittle anyone, but i feel that for production cars, especially on not-so powerful cars, having a so-called 'proven' wing won't really help to increase performance due to the increased traction... my basis is, i believe there are more tractive capabilities from the tires/suspension that we can't have not harness from.. therefore if indeed we gain more traction from the wings, the drag would be too costly then... however if the tractive capabilities can be extracted from a really good suspension/tire setup, we would have benefited from the extra traction without sacrificing top speed... having said that, if indeed having a wing will increase traction, would the car be able to overcome the drag to accelerate to the speed required to generate the downforce needed for a certain corner? if we can't reach that kind of speed, then wouldnt it cancel out whatever advantage? just sth to ponder over... i welcome any PM for discussion on aerodynamics coz i'm learning more as i go along...:)</blockquote>
