I don't think this wing is meant to compete directly with something like Singular's GT250 package. Singular's rear wing is tried and true setup, it's the go-to piece for a rear wing on a NA/NB for 99% of it's intended users that want to win. To me this seems like an inexpensive option for a rear wing, not an alternative solution to a high-end(for miatas) rear wing package.
I suspect there will be more data collected on this foil and will even be shared! Because that's what we do in this nice little community of ours. I have a feeling it might even end up on a PTE-trim car for science. :party: |

Spend $200+ on materials and who knows how many hours on fabrication to make my own crappy wing or just buy this? |
Agreed ^

Ryan - I have several Singulär products and they are all excellent. I'm not considering this a competitor to your wing. I simply cannot justify/afford your wing at my income level, and my driving level. My previous option for aero was "I can't afford a wing". Hopefully no hard feelings for posting this up.

Will there be any wing stands that 9 Lives Racing will provide in the future to sell a complete wing ready to bolt on? Also if we could get some real world results on a miata that might help the product a bit.
I too also have been very happy with all my singular products. |
Why haven't Chump Racers embraced the 3-D printed wings? light, very strong, cheap, easy to modify design. I think an entire print wold be like 60 bucks worth of filament.

I was about to pull the trigger on a printer this week, when I saw this. Aero isn't something that has been fully explored in ChampCar yet, but like any series, speed creep is real, and aero will be the next avenue. |

If I sold stands and endplates for something that would make people eventually graduate up to my fancy wangs I would be pleased.

Do these help?

I'm trying to understand the business reason behind not selling the stands.
|
I would need a 4" front splitter to balance out this wing, right?

Actual cost of printing them would be my guess. I don't know of anyone with a printer that can do a full wing in one print. I would be hesitant to trust gluing together a wing and expecting it to hold up. But I am no expert.

Allthread through the middle and epoxy sections together. Idea stolen from Madjak. I will be working on one very soon. printer is making money ATM.

We have an old APR aluminum wing from a friends Miata we are going to test on our ChAmp Car in a few weeks and compare it to a spoiler. If it works, we'll probably pony up for an 9LR element.

Well shit. That's too bad. I'm kinda surprised and not surprised at the same time. Thanks for confirming.
-Added make uprights to my ever growing list of things I need to do. This wing is just too cheap for me to pass up. I caught air twice at my last autox. I need aero (and to tweak suspension) |
That sure is a pretty wang you got there.
