Default BIG Wing.

At Knockhill today for the GT series, noticed this discrete little car, is it OTT?

At the risk of being a bit Top Gearish...that's tiny!

Here's a properly big spoiler

I wouldn't have one if it were merely a road car, but a correctly setup spoiler can make a big difference on track.

Know nothing about this stuff but that looks very DIY to me.

That's an FIA spec wing i think. So not a DIY job, just a full race one.

And considering the wheels, tyres, suspension and roll-cage it looks proper track prepared and may even be a road legal RSR.

Very unusual to see one on a road car though.

Well the car has a roll cage and is running track rubber and track wheels, so I suspect it's not a full road car.
