Performance - Local Load Subtle changes to diffuser roof profile. Increased rear camber in the diffuser roof region increases local flow acceleration which in turn increase local downforce and drag.Performance – Local Load Revised floor edge wing with additional flap element added over forward section. The additional floor edge flap element drops the local pressure behind the fence systems which in turn increases forward floor load.

Single element, low camber beam wing designed to reduce local downforce and drag; suitable for high L/D track like Spa.- Circuit Specific – Balance Range Low camber, small chord front wing flap.
