Advice
Wing selection
If you require advice selecting the correct wing configuration(s) for your competition car, it will help us if you can tell us the following:
-
what type and category of events you compete in
-
what type, make & model of car you drive (i.e. saloon, sports racer, single seater etc. or just make and model if it's a well known one)
-
what your car’s power output at the driven wheels is (a flywheel figure will do - it is possible to estimate the at-the-wheels figure from this)
-
what the front:rear weight distribution is
-
whether the car is front wheel drive, rear wheel drive or 4WD (and if 4WD what the front:rear torque split is)
-
what downforce-inducing devices are in use or are planned for elsewhere on the car
-
what the highest and lowest maximum speeds are at venues you visit, and an idea of the cornering speed range encountered
-
what relevant regulations are applicable to the dimensions and location of wings and other aero devices
-
what aerodynamic deficiencies, if any, you are endeavouring to overcome
-
some outline details of other aspects of the car's aerodynamics​
We then recommend the configuration best suited to your application. Fine tuning in testing and events will, however, be necessary to get a good balance.
Free 'whole car' advice!
Where requested, and once a deposit or full payment has been received for a DJ-manufactured wing, we can also provide free whole-car aerodynamic advice to help you to obtain that all important aerodynamic balance so that you can fully exploit the extra downforce you obtain with the wings you have bought from us. Our aim is to help you to go faster sooner!
GET A BETTER GRIP WITH THE WING SHOP!
Our wings have been proven in the wind tunnel, in CFD studies and on-track. We can provide you with the right combination of high downforce or high efficiency (downforce to drag ratio) to suit your application.
Please ask us for our recommendation from our portfolio of wing profiles and combinations or contact us to discuss your requirements.
