Hey
I can't think of any cars/vehicles (with the exception of dirt track sprint cars, huge wing mounted in the center.. well maybe dragsters) who's rear wing is mounted directly over the rear wheels. F1 cars rear wings (for example/ a car with a front wing) are mounted in the far aft, and the front wing is put there primarily to balance the car. The downforce of the rear wing, mounted behind the axles would make the front end lighter, wouldn't it? Wouldn't there be less lift on the front of the car, if the rear wing was mounted on top of the rear wheels? Is that about maximizing down force with less drag (using leverage and smaller wings) and if it is, wouldn't there be less drag if the racecar didn't need a front wing to balance out the rear downforce?
Or.. Is it mostly about getting the Cp behind the Cg for stability?
