I have bee working with a composite manufacturer to make this new style Radical wing with dropped end sections. The lower end sections correspond with the rear louver to suppress any lift generated by the rear fender. This approach is seen in many top end GT cars.

Always difficult to tell from photos, but the quality of work looks excellent.

Is the plane and flap assembly the same overall width as the OE? Likewise, the front edge to back edge width of each of the two components?

Looking forward to what Lindsay makes of it .......... remembering that mathematically I know the square root of SFA when it comes to aero profiling, my only 'query' is whether, presumably resultant of the two support stays, the flat central portion is perhaps too wide? i.e. the outer 'attack' parts are overly narrow?

Anyway, it's good to see folks trying some different stuff .............. car's apparently looking right smart tooyes
Yes the dimensions of the wing and winglet are very much the same as OE except for the dropped end.
Not sure what you mean by: " the flat central portion is perhaps too wide? i.e. the outer 'attack' parts are overly narrow? "
That is not my car. Photo is just for display purposes. You spotted right the quality is top notch.
My car is ex. Simon Tiling"s turbo SR3.

correct. But if the owner of this wing wins a few races then they will sell well..and if the new wing reduces the prodigious downforce and staggeringly turbulent wake of sr3s, then as a PR6 owner i am right behind this kind of development ??
No need to win races. That wing should sell simply because it is about half the price of anything that is similar in quality! Not that it should matter but it certainly looks very good too. And if you do not like the drop end style it also comes as a straight wing.

The quality of my main plane brand new from the factory is utterly shocking for an SR3rs and what it costs.
In what way?
