Wings

beetleraceing.com have a gt2 style wing,not very good shots on site but they have better photos if you ask for em it has an adjustable top wing and huge scoopes for added air flow to engine bay.

The last time I talked via email to Carotta about fiberglass parts they would only sell the whole car, glass and all...

Thanks,
Randy

Hi

Im not sure how much downforce you will get with that movable wing, I think it would really help with air into motor


This is the beetle racing one that Im going to use on my car.

Has anyone done a study to see if any of these promote downforce?

All of them look too low on the Beetle's downsloping tail end to be effective to me (unless the downforce is more weight oriented than aerodynamics).

I like the looks of em... It doesnt bother me if it actually works or not. I love that 930 and Carrera and the GT-3 look. My dream is to own a 930 3.3 Liter one day....

My question on whether it was functional or not was not meant to be construed as a put-down or a put-down if the answer was no. I tossed the question out there because Steve C is a racer and we have other racers on this site, and I was hoping someone in the know would be able to satisfy my own curiosity. Anything read between the lines with my question is done with pure imagination.

Oasis I didnt take it in the least as a put down.. in fact...if someone did find out if it worked that would be great.
Steve and the guy with the Subaru engine that has a big wing could probably tell us. Im glad you asked actually... wasnt sure how to bring that up.
My only hope is that it doesnt INcrease lift in the rear.

I'm glad. I seem to have gotten under some people's skin lately for no legitimate reason and I have become overly sensitive about it.
