Split Rear Wing?!

Postby cityboy »

Is this more or less effective than the one centrally placed wing?

How do you mean, as in the FIAs proposed future regulation changes?

Yeah I think this comes into play in 2007/2008 doesn't it?

It will produce less downforce and produce less turbulent air behind the car, hence helping close racing.
I've always suspected that under current rules the F1 teams try and produce a max turbulent air zone behind their cars, to hamper overtaking.
It'll be interesting to see what happens. Guess it could be the time for radical new designs. However the combination of the split wing and v8's might does seem to dumb down F1 a lot.
who watches the watchmen?
