Title: Europa with aero
Post by: exarkun1178 on Friday,January 10, 2014, 06:35:17 PM

So,  im considering a wing, canards and a splitter

Wanted some thoughts on how high the wing needs to be for clean air.  also best practice where to mount the wing?

Joe posted two pictures of racing Europas in the paddock section. Both wings appear to be pretty level with the top of the roof section.

Are the wings and aero mods for looks or possible track use?

Also forgot to add that the wings on both cars appear to be attached beyond where the body would normally end, an attachment on the rear of the frame to extend the wing to catch the air flow?

Id love to say it for track use, but aside from a dozen Auto x ill do each summer, no real racing.

The thought on the wing, and splitter is to freshen up the car. make it look more aggressive,
