Spohn's First track Day

When you say "catastrophically fail", do you mean some kind of airflow problem that resulted in a sudden loss of downforce at a critical time? Or do you mean the downforce broke/detached the wing itself (which I guess would cause a pretty sudden loss of downforce too)?

The extreme downforce on the wing at high speed at the highest setting caused a structural failure of the wing support. The wing was simply being pushed beyond it's design capabilities. The end result was a sudden loss of downforce as the wing detached and a heavy crash. Fortunately the car was caged and the driver was uninjured. He even has it on video

When you add more HP to a stock car this is something to be considered.
