Yeah this is the fun part of aerodynamics, we just don’t know and I have to stress I’m an amateur at it. Don’t have a nice doctorate in it or anything…

Anyway, Richard you’re quite right in what you’re saying, I was just illustrating the differences between efficient aerodynamics, ie a multi element wing with negative lift properties (an aircraft wing upside down sort of thing) and the scoop wings we tend to run on the buggies. If you have a big wing, or a front wing then yes you’re going to catch more air, pushing you down some as you drive forward, but to does have to be at quite an angle to have an effect, thus the drag being caused in that way.
