I’m no aero expert and pretty much anything I know comes from watching/reading F1 and reading race car engineering. My task to those of you who insist that the Fwing is the key to good lap times is to find actual data for us to discuss. As to WHY would he have it on the car if it wasn’t significantly beneficial… take a look at the car over the years and estimate how much more sponsorship dollars have been dumped in it. I’m confident that the attention the Fwing has attracted is responsible for the corporate sponsorship from Needforspeed/speedhunters and others. But still, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t reduce laptimes. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/discuss/255506)._
