If you have Michigan on tape, have a close look at the front wings. To me they appear to be at different angles to each other, as well as being attached to the nose cone at different heights. Anyoen wish to confirm deny this?

I think the right hand side one was at a flatter angle. What can we say this helps, cornering stability?

Interesting spot, Crash Test. Spotted it on various cars or just one?

Can't say anything about it yet, though. Eurosport is broadcasting CART on Thursday in a meager videoclip of 40 minutes.
But I'll be watching, front row, magnifying glass ready to catch a glimps of 'em wings.

Well I couldn't wait and found myself a sneak preview on the CART homepage (yuk...they really must feature the most unusable thumbnails around btw).

Best head-on pic I found was of The Juan and Only entering the pits in the second practice session. Notice the angle in wich the car is leaning to the left side; where not talking just a few degrees here :



And finally after quite a search, clicking virtually all of those thumbnails which give absolutely no clue about the picture, a shot of a number of cars entering the pits on raceday:



Can't spot a remarkable difference yet on these cars, but maybe I am picking the wrong ones.

Cheers,
Dino

I think it looked like most of the reynards. It isn't huge, but you can see it...although saying that, it might just eb the stager which makes it look like the wing is on an angle...
