I'd say it creates the majority of the wing's downforce, because it constrains span wise flow and rolls it all up into sweet, sweet vortices.trinidefender wrote:...as this are in front of the front tyre also creates a fair chunk of downforce and as such is not considered part of the endplate by me at all.
Remove only the vertical portion, and nothing much will change. Remove the rest, and the wing won't work. Ergo, that's the functional end plate.
Just like this...
It only looks different.
Might this be an issue with semantics? (I fully acknowledge I have what could charitably be called a "unique" way of seeing/expressing things.)
