Reply to "GP4 front spoiler options"

These were tested by Ford in the wind tunnel also.

There is always a trade off with wings and spoilers.

You want the best combination of downforce and drag that you can get in balance.

The big front dams, just like the delta wing, slow the car down because of increased drag.

Considering what current racers run on these cars though I don't think that they are approaching 200mph on the track?

If they were, the drag on the big front spoilers would be too much. Looks like needed additional downforce on the nose is what the drivers want?

This is the fiberglass front L bumper and GTS chin spoiler.

This combination has been run in the Silver State by at least one racer.
