Rear high speed wing for "small" car ?

[khracing]

Im running an Mitusbishi EVO 2 -1994 with RWD & approx 550bhp

 trying for at least 250-270kmh on ice in Sweden in March 2010.

 my current wing is NOT good for this - is my simple example better ?

ideas please ?

best regards /

Looks like a lot of surface area. If it gets side ways at speed or goes backwards it will create a lot of lift and probably get up side down. Be careful in the design.

Hi Glen, Merry christmas to you.

 thanxs 4 thr input.

 ofcourse i can make it smaller/shorter etc etc

 but it all really comes down to the fact that the car is bulit
as a rallycar which means its made to race between 50-150 kmh

 its not very stabile over 200kmh... without any rear wing is something i have not yet tested though....

Do a search in the build diaries there are several wings shown and might give you some ideas on size and mounting. The 222 car has run 285 mph with their Camero with a much shorter wing as have some others. Good luck on the build and be safe. Happy new year. Keep us posted on what you do.

I race an Evo 2 and I believe that at the mph you plan to run your car will be fine.
I don't know your rule restrictions but if its legal just drop an air dam straight down in the front and youwill have a pretty good setup. I had my car in the wind tunnel in that configuration and it was fairly well balanced, not very aerodynamic but not dangerous as long as you know how to drive(it will never be stable like a supercar).

 Hi again Mike.

 What is an Air dam ? I´m fluent in the english language, but there are always strange words around

 A picture would be great if you have the time... also, where can i read about yout evo ?

Kristian,

A air dam drops down from the front bumper and goes as close to ground with out touching,to keep air from getting under the car.
Hope that helps
Good luck with your project

I added a pic to my profile so you can see what I mean. Sorry I don't know how to post up bigger pics but you should get what I'm talking about.
