Here's a pretty good explanation on the subject https://oppositelock.kinja.com/wings...ong-1665312667 |
Got news for y'all, a spoiler, which spoils lift, adds all kinds of drag. Separation drag (airflow separating from a surface) is massive drag. Wing adds induced drag.
Bottom line, "aero" stuff for track use usually adds drag and slows a car's top-speed, whether it's a wing or a spoiler.
