This is a bit of fun! Ive been working on a drag reduction system for my new rear wing in the MGB.
Guess what? It actually works and has reduced my lap time at Castle Combe by two and a half seconds.
I am Amazed

Nice, is this manual control or automated via speed or something like that? I take it you aren't noticing any handling problems at high speed down the straights?

I have now put a description of how it works with the clip on youtube.
Basically it is fully automatic. I can pre set the angle of attack for the fully up and fully down positions the rest works on air speed over the trailing edge of the wing.
The car is super stable at speed campared with before.

Cheers
Mark
