Are those GT4 cars also using the Verus Engineering wing? And do you all believe it might suit my lower horsepower and lighter weight vs say an AJ Hartman swan neck wing?

No they use Multimatic's specifically designed aero. I think MMR sells the closest thing you can find to the actual GT4 Aero.

I like! I just want to make sure I don't spend 3-4k without making sure it is a good addition/a good choice for my build...will do more research and go with the most CFD data wing and talk to people like AJ and Verus.

Will add link to my folders upon folders of links to all car stuff ahaha

Based on the quality of the MMR carbon dive planes I've seen not sure I'd spend almost double the proce of every other wing out there for that MMR wing.

Be careful. CFD is not the only variable. AJ does a lot of work in the tunnel and every tunnel run is worth at least 100 CFD runs, probably more.

Simulation in general is only as good as the model and modeling a car well is bloody difficult.

Roger. I wonder how much the less power and weight affects it. Hmmm...maybe ecoboost info is close.

Aero doesn't really car about hp unless you're talking about affecting the vehicles attitude which changes the attitude of the aero.

That being said lower horsepower cars are more negatively affected by drag so an efficient wing is important.

Are you really spending most of your lap time over 120mph?

Nope. 90-100.

Unscientific test results of racelouvers are coming tomorrow, stay tuned folks

Quite. What is their effectiveness at that speed?

 

[CobaltFilly]

Verus: AOA 15 (max) = 20-30lbs of drag/230-240lbs of downforce at 100mph
AJ Hartman Apex 8 Wing Kit (great for lightweight cars he states): 5 AOA (max) = unknown drag/220lbs of downforce at 100mph
APR GTC-200: AOA 12 (max) = 21.90lbs of drag/182.8lbs of downforce at 100mph

Based on the most in depth APR data, I feel like it would most likely be the best for 90-100mph, especially on a lighter car/taking into consideration weight/price to downforce. Perhaps I am just reading and understanding aero wrong.

Ah, the endangered species. Should put a "place umbrella girls here" sign on the hood.

A better question is “will aero fix the things that are keeping me slow”
