I'm interested in a brand/type of wing which will not bent that easyly if by accidents you did not manage to keep the shiny side up ;-)
Any idea? Tried already the Himoto, Ofna and JConcepts.

I agree , from my limited experience ive found standard wings are the most consistant. When i tried High Downforce wings or tilting up a normal wing i found i had better straight line stability at speed but coming into corners was tricky . The smaller wings i tried felt better and i got better lap times because the un predictability decreased and straight line speed increased. Ive also noticed in F1 racing that their rear wings are getting smaller. might be something in that ..
