fyanrudger Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Spotted this a couple months back and found it interesting. Not feeling complete sentences right now, so... Why it works for me: - I only want a spoiler for track sessionS. - Wouldn't leave hardware exposed when removed. - My hatch is FG and lacks strength. Concerns: - Will an un-braced spoiler like this hold angle at speed? - Is it SCCA legal? - Will you guys still be my friend?

Namor Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I think it would have to be pretty thick to provide downforce and hold its shape. Essentially that bend alone has to stand up to whatever downforce is applied and depending on speed (and obviously spoiler design) I think downforce can get up over 100lbs or possibly a lot more. I also think the mount would need to extend pretty far up the hatch opening sides to be able to handle the force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 A spoiler like that doesn't create downforce-it reduced lift. That's cool-very simple design and probably will be pretty effective. But you would need to pay for wind tunnel time to really know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
