Correct me if I'm wrong Julius but smaller rear wing gives better steering at high speed, right?

What about the additional dampers go in the middle of the rear wing like on the Mazda 6 and the Alfa 2.1 and the ones that go at the side like the older Stratus 1.0 and 2.1? How does it affect handling? When do you use them?
Smaller wing = less grip = more steering and more speed on the straight.

The additional flaps on the wings help straight line stability. They also help keep the rear in line a bit in corners. I personally don't use the fins on the wing but experiment with them to see if you notice a difference.
