Spoon Super Taikyu Wing Shape Question
Hello everybody!
Regarding Spoon's Super Taikyu wing, can you guys tell me why Spoon abandoned the 3DGT style wing for this one? What are the advantages to this type of shape vs the 3D shape?
Is this wing available / anyone used it on track?
Newest shape
Older 3D style
Thank you all.

Neither has swan neck mounts. A properly working 3D wing is tricky because it is very dependent on the airflow over the roof. The assumption is the angle of attack in the center reflects the angle coming off the roof, and the sides have a direct flow. None of the cars pictured seem to have aggressive front downforce or a rear diffuser that moves the low pressure in front of the rear wheel centerline. Since a rear wing is capable of significant downforce, they are all able to get more than enough to balance the car. Their only penalty is a usually slight increase in drag. Judging from the cooling setup, none of the cars pictured aggressively dealt with drag.

Hey man! I was just a little curious about Spoons new aero package. I read on their blog that this new wing would be for sale along side the new aero bumper, but I guess that never happened.
I'd buy it though....
