It's always amazed me how far some Clubmans cars' rear wings are behind the rear axle centre line - there's an enormous moment about the rear axle centre line which must be producing noticeable lift at the front wheels. Obviously works, though!
I think a few other cars may be affected - Clubmans were just the ones that immediately sprang to mind!

There is a lot of discussion elsewhere on this site with the impact this reg may have on tin tops.

I haven't seen that. Don't why anybody's worried, though -just take a look at the 2012 Blue Book!
