Thanks for your replies AriuSen! It is nice to see that you are making some custom parts for your car. I see you are running quite a bit of aero on your car. If you don't mind me asking are you struggling with forward aero balance? In my experience fender spats can generate front downforce but come with quite a large drag increase. I have definitely seen canards outperform them. Running both is generally non-trivial due to the influence of the stagnation on the canard vortices.

I am in the process of setting up the CFD simulation for my first canard. Hopefully I can show some results over the next few days.
Awesome!! Actually I don't struggle at all with front downforce. Actually my car is really balanced right now.
Honestly the spats were intended to reduce drag and not to increase drag lol. If that's the case I need to do some more studying.

Excited to see your work too!
