incorrect, a properly designed wing with the appropriate rake will provide a large amount of downforce at even highway speeds like 60mph. in a way its like designing a powerband in a car though. the more aggressive the wing, the better it is at low speeds but at high speeds it creates more drag than its worth and may produce too much downforce. a less aggressive wing may need higher speeds to get to where it produces a useable downforce and wont be usable at highway speeds, thats why ive been a fan of trying to design a variable rake system to make it a but more of an all around winner. I need to figure out which shape will probabbly perform best and try to find a wing with that basic design in my price range however (which isnt a 2000$ do luck wing) The concept of the 3d designed airfoil with the less aggressive center section makes sense to me as it would allow air flow over the center of the vehicle to flow with less turbulance / interruption while allowing outter airflow that makes less of an impact to push down.
