downforce from original spoiler or wing?
were there any spoilers or wings fitted as standard, as factory option or have homologation that create downforce? in the championship i race in i am not allowed anything else. i could probably get away with something that didn't look too crazy but no point in putting something on that wont work. ideas?

IIRC in order to make downforce on our cars in the rear you have to have a fairly tall rear wing, nothing OEM fits the bill. 949 racing has some examples of rear spoilers that make downforce. I guess downforce made under the car like in F1 isn't OEM either...

The issue is getting something into the air, i don' think a spoiler is tall enough to do that.
For reference, read this thread. Same question.
As you can see in the picture, anything shy of a wing doesn't get high enough to make a deference, I know its an NC in the pic, but an NA should be similar. Do you race with a hard top on? It might have some effect with a hard top on, idk though thats just speculation.

Yea we run with a hardtop but I think your probably correct. The angles are too big to keep the air attached properly. although in that picture you can see where the air leaves the boot. i wonder if there was a hardtop fitted and a spoiler it could create a high pressure area. also i have read somewhere about putting holes in the rear hardtop window or removing it completely too help keep the air attached. Are there any examples like that with a hard top fitted?

was hoping someone somewhere was going to tell me about a homologated wing used somewhere that i could just strap on and be on my way or at least find something that is similar.
think i will have to get a few different standard spoilers and give them a try at the track. we have a big rear wing but not allowed to use it.
