A question about wing settings....

hello all.

I have a simple question relating to wings on race cars. it is so simple, I don't know the answer.

My question is this:

Wings, when set steeper, create more downforce. This downforce increases as the wing angle steepens further.

But can a wing be set too steep, and be totally ineffective? Is there a limit to how steep they can be set before the downforce levels begin to tail off?

Sorry if my question is rather elementary to you folk, but I'd like to know!
