    One thing I would recommend, in addition to what I said earlier, is make the highest rear downforce plate angled 45-65
    degrees, and make the DRS acutators 5 degrees less than the plate angle.

    @Caveman999 @LotusEngineering Alright, if you can fit them all in the allowed space, you can have them. I will increase the limit shortly, desgin as such.

    I think that’s what lotus means. @KingHandspider

    @LotusEngineering I think you misunderstand what I mean by "three plates". A wing plate can be made up of at most 2 wing parts, and there may only be three wing plates PER SIDE, not including the main (lowest) deck.

    @KingHandspider I've come up with a proposal. For the front wing, I feel very restricted with my possible design. 3 downforce plates. The only thing I'm allowed to change is the length and angle (to a certain degree) of the plates. If you perhaps changed the front wing rules, I could really make a cool as heck wing. heres what Im proposing:

    • no more than 6 downforce plates
    • support wings for the downforce plates
    • any degree for the plates

    What do you think?

    Thanks!

    @KingHandspider Oh yes, I just put that there for weight testing. nowhere near being done.

    @LotusEngineering Yee! I would however recommend angling the front wing panels down a bit, as they provide little to no downforce as they are right now. (it did a backflip @ ~150 mph XD)

    This is what I wanted an FSGK car to be like. Bravo, Aurora Racing!
