Default APR wing, will it work for track?

Yes it should work. Can your source tell us what the NACA profile is for the APR GT 200?

I'm very happy with my APR GTC-200 for track.

Anyone using the APR front splitter?

The GTC wings don't have a constant side-view profile, they bend and twist a bit. They seem to work well enough. I run the GTC-300, admittedly at pretty low speeds though...

Not an S2000, but you get the idea. The biggest difference between the GTC-200 (60") and GTC-300 (67") is the width. They usually stock the GTC-200 but the 300's are more of a made-to-order thing.

Not the best pic, but it is of the GTC200.


I'd like a bigger wing, but I was pretty surprised at how effective it was for being relatively a small thing. Noticably plants the rear in high speed corners. My only recommendation is score yourself a used rear trunklid if you don't want to run the wing on the street (obscures rear view and attracts a lot of unwanted attention). Takes about 5 min. to swap out trunklids.
