I am sure this has been posted somewhere else. However, I was looking at pictures from the Reedy Race and some from the last worlds in Italy. And the drivers had mounted the rear wing farther back, making the wing hang behind the rear or car instead of ontop of the rear of the car. You know what I am talking about?

I want to know what handling characteristics this gives the car?

Thanks in advance. Any information is helpful.

more rear traction

mounting the wing further back gives you much more rearendgrip whilst steering stays the same resulting in a much smoother driving car. once you tried you never go back. mounting the wing further forward is just a waste of grip, nothing else

Is there something in ROAR rules against this?, or is it 100% legal?

In the UK the following rules are for the body;



I don't know how far the wings hang over at the international races but there should be a diagram of body dimensions for ROAR somewhere.

I did see a picture on ROAR's site, but this was the nuts

Same 10mm overhang rule in Australia

Looks like the BRCA picture applies to the ROAR rules, with regard to the wing at least.
