Re: New Skippy Car Component Survey #1 of 8: WINGS

As far as the actual topic at hand, I think the 3-day school cars don't need any wings. I agree with Tom that the cars need wings for races because of the perception they give, regardless of what downforce they provide.

As for aero performance, I think the cars should be set up with very very little downforce, though with the adjustability for the testers to tune track specific problems that crop up. I'd like to see National cars with a more moderate level of downforce, but unless Skippy secures a hell of an engine for the National cars then I think anything like a "high" downforce car will dumb the car down too much.
