I'm not positively sure that I understand how this works, or for that matter what it does.

But I'd guess that it probably costs more than a low miles, no story GT:eek

I don't see how it works either. Is there supposed to be a link to something?

AoA adjustment for an option between two wings?
It's fastened at B-B in the photo so I assume this wing is adjusted as A-A, B-B, C-C, etc. A possibly longer wing starts at Q-Q. A-A would have less downforce (and less drag) than P-P.
Pretty cool.

We have them on the Matech GT1 cars....when the regs require you to have two rear wing elements, this allows a very large number of aerodynamic combinations. Ex Ferrari F1 designer Enrique Scalabroni designed ours. Drivers said is was exceptionally efficient in both high and low downforce configurations, allowing one element to 'slide' over part of the other and tuck in behind, giving the effect of a single element for ultra low drag for Le Mans.

Le Mans scrutineers back in 2010 were highly impressed with the design. This one is very very similar, but with a few more options.

Thanks for the information.

Knowing who designed it is a real bonus.
