@deeeeeeeench1209 you vote or get involved in politics that's the way our system "works". Despite the fact it works like a McDonald's ice cream machine
Honda Integra type R. "The rear wing wasn’t just for show - it reduced lift at the back of the car by 30 per cent, and the sculpted aero lip under the front bumper also helped keep the car stable at speed." Maybe you should let Honda know they messed up adding a 3kg spoiler on what's often described as the best handling FWD production car ever made.
@@SiCreweThe point is they fabricated the front splitter to benefit the car WITH the spoiler. Adding a shitty rear spoiler onto a FWD car and not providing it adequate aero to balance it out on the front then the copper is spot on. It's pointless.
@@B_enn Adding something "shitty" to ANY car is likely to have a negative effect. Adding a rear wing to a FWD car is simply going to increase rear downforce, which may be exactly what the driver requires. Adding a spoiler, as opposed to a wing, will have NO effect on aero' but it may be there for a multitude of other perfectly valid reasons. Arbitrarily assuming that a wing OR spoiler is pointless just demonstrates a lack of understanding.
As an automotive engineer the issue which he is correctly discibing is aero imbalance. Having a just a rear wing shifts the load of the car more rearwards. In same cases, and I have experienced this in some people cars, massive wings will cause the car to squat at the rear in high speeds. This then makes the front end go lighter and you can feel the steering get light and in some cases you get vibration through the steering rack as the road surface starts bumping the wheels of the ground microscopically. This phenomenon isn’t just at super high speeds I’ve experienced this doing 80 mph on a motorway. Your correct that any wing will as downforce but you need to add front splitters to help balance. The integra that you mentioned has a big front lip and quite a shaped front bonnet which helps keep downforce on the car. Huge rear wings do look cool but just make sure they are balanced. One for safely and two because you just look like an idiot if you don’t haha
or tried to get up after thinking yeah im clear of the fuel tank and then smashing ur face in it or forgetting it exists and letting your car down and the tow ball bashes ur ribs in a bit fuck tow balls
What are you talking about? Downforce is downforce, doesn't matter if its FWD or not. I'll leave you to figure out why downforce is good, even on unpowered wheels. Source: I'm an aerodynamics engineer.
@@216-i6p Which wheels are driven doesn't affect downforce. Whatever aero-surface you have whether that's a spoiler, front splitter or even a rear diffuser or side skirts (no matter how small), they all contribute to downforce. Having rear biased downforce on a FWD car isn't as good as front biased downforce, sure, however there is still net more downforce. In the example a FWD fiesta with a spoiler will have more downforce than one without (given enough speed to generate 'lift'). The officer has no idea what hes talking about.
@@R0N1N98that’s interesting, but if I put a wing on the back of my fiesta st the extra downforce would probably ruin its handling. Less lift off oversteer is no fun 😂
@@TangoSuckaa1 Yeah exactly, you're shifting the aerodynamic balance and downforce further back, reducing oversteer. It's all about what you want I guess and what your preference for more/less oversteer is.
Some fwd cars do come from factory with wings, I'm sure aswell that there's videos out there showing that rear downforce does have a positive effect on fwd cars, just not nearly as much as it does on a rwd or awd
Wrong, front wheel drive cars also need a rear spoiler to, it would reduce oversteer at high speed turns, it also helps the car keep traction, it’s not just pushing the back wheels to put the power down, it’s pushing it down to keep traction on the rear, here’s a tip don’t act confident about something you haven’t got knowledge over cheers
exactly! no weight up the arse of an fwd easy to get lift off oversteer at speed in fact lift off oversteer is the only way to really get a fwd swinging (im talking nissan x trail tho lol)
Not all wings are for downforce ... Stability and drag reduction. High performance fwd cars with a front splitter and proper suspension often need rear downforce . Do you think a 250hp evo would be noticeably loose at the rear without a wing ? Don't think so ...
Down force isn’t just to get power down it’s also to provide the car with stability in high speed corners allowing more force into the ground securing the tyres place on the road if you knew something about this you’d also realise that a lot of fwd racing cars such as the cupra Leon competición also has a large wing. You could argue that in certain situations a fwd requires more down force in the rear, compared to rwd and 4wd due to the lack of weight in the rear of the car, down force isn’t just for high hp rear driven cars it’s for cars that require the added stability due to the use or error in engineering, like the f56 jcw for example all the weight is up front and so is the majority of the braking force, this combination lead to a nasty lift in the rear under heavy braking now a easy solution would be to add more weight but seen as performance is all to do with power to weight ratio and weight distribution, as well as many other factors, this would in fact decrease performance and agility of the vehicle. The correct solution is to add down force providing the rear end of the vehicle with additional down forcing increasing the stability of the vehicle in such situations without added any unnecessary weight that you’d have to lug around with you.

One car springs to mind here and it is a factory fit rear wing. The Porsche GT3 RS. Now that is one hell of a big wing for a road car. Yes it does serve a purpose on the GT3 RS. I am a little surprised it is actually allowed on a road car. 🤔 That wing does look dangerous.
Let's make people responsible for what they do! If someone would walk into this kind of wing and hurt him self, IT'S HIS OWN FAULT. The car or the owner of this car has nothing to do with it in this case!
Not to mention those park benches with pointy corners, park railings with spikes on the top and letter boxes with those strong springs on the flap to trap your fingers. Be careful out there everyone, it's a jungle.
For those who are struggling to understand, a large wing on a FWD car will push down on the rear of the car, lifting the front, resulting in less grip on the front wheels.
@@escapade1924 it's all in the setup, downforce is for high speed stability and cornering. The back can step out doing that in any car. If you have so much rear downforce you are lifting up the front then you've set it up wrong, no car would benefit from that.
Eh? How'd you work that out? More weight on the back axle of a car simply adds more weight/grip to the rear. It can't have an effect on the front unless there's a fulcrum point somewhere between the front and rear axle... which there isn't. When you hitch up a poorly balanced trailer, OTOH, this becomes an issue. When you have a front-heavy trailer attached, the weight is between the trailer axle and the car's rear axle. That WILL allow the rear axle of the vehicle to act as a fulcrum and lift the front of the car.
I have a question If I buy a new Volvo v60 and have extras from Volvo Is my car modified I’m talking 360 degrees camera upgraded factory accessories So like in old terms a 1980 cortina base gas s pack engine upgrades mudflats a ghost set of wheels As it’s ford original upgrade do I need to tell DVLA /. Insurance
We all get that it serves a purpose on the right fwd car. We all also know the kind of car that hes on about. The halfords type guy/girl with a poorly designed wing that does nothing or even makes the car handle worse. Tracking a fwd car you almost need some downforce on the rear to stop that dead weight sliding round on you at the back the second you lift off and grab a handfull of oversteer lol
Normally the voice of reason but clearly doesn't understand aero. Wings on FWD cars are just as valid as wings on RWD or 4WD IF THEY ARE DONE RIGHT. Most of the BTCC grid are fwd and have massive wings. Having said that, I'm not a fan of the "race look" with fake aero, show cages and tow straps cable tied on etc
That’s right, and if you attach two FWD cars back to back you can use the fact that FWD cars ignore the rules of physics, to can create an anti gravity device. I can’t believe more people don’t know this.
A wing on a front drive car CAN aid cornering grip, indeed a wing on a 4wd or even rwd car isn't really to sid traction fir acceleration e.g. a 0-60 run the car isn't goung fsst enough for the eing to generate any noticeable downforce ....over the 70 snd the wing might help traction for acceleration but few cars have enough power to need help witb traction over 70
Oh, I love it when people aren't smart enough to understand the difference between a wing and a spoiler. Officer Owen needs to read more and ditch the smug, ignorant, comments. A spoiler (the clue's in the name) is intended to "spoil" the air-flow around the rear of the vehicle. There are many perfectly valid reasons why this might be desirable, or even essential. It might be there for something as mundane as to reduce the differential pressure between the inside and outside of a car (thus getting rid of that irritating "thrumming" some cars make when the windows are open) or it might be there to prevent the car developing a low pressure area at the rear, thus preventing the car from developing unpredictable levels of rear grip. Obviously, some ARE purely cosmetic, as well, but it'd be dumb to assume that's always the case. Also, since I'm here, what's wrong with fitting a WING to a FWD car? Just because the power is delivered via the front wheels, that doesn't mean it won't be beneficial to have more downforce at the rear. Worst case scenario is that you end up with a car that has more rear grip than front, meaning it'll understeer instead of oversteering, which I would have thought a cop would approve of since it's safer.
I'm glad to see the police spending time making these sort of videos instead of investigating the "up to 50 % of burglaries go without investigation ". Time and tax payer money well spent
Hi mr police, yes for your average car or street car it’s probably a waste of time, but if you also track your car then Fwd or not downforce does actually help the car stick the road, it’s been proven. I kind of want one on the fiesta now just because 😂😂

A rear wing on a fwd car still has purpose. Juat becaise the wheels arent driven from the back foesnt mean the rear tyres dont need to be pushed into the ground for more grip

It’s not 4wd. That means it has a low and high range.
It’s All wheel drive.
Yes. Let's all make sure we change what we do because there a stupid people out there.
Don't walk into my car, if you do, the wing will be the least of your worries.
why do you even need “downforce” on the back of your car how fast are you going exactly
This is hilarious! How could someone poke their eye out on a spoiler?!!
If u walk in to it your to close to the car and your paying for any damages
Or.... pay attention... aint hard if you have full use of your eyes 🤨
Perhaps the most idiotic statement I’ve heard today. 😂😂
Plot twist… people shouldn’t be walking into peoples cars 😩
If someone walks into a wing its their fault not mine, i do not care😊
there is only one big wing in this video and its the muppet talking about it
If you walked in to someone’s car then it’s your own fault
This cop just loves ruining the looks of ppls cars I swr😂
Understood.....the wing should be placed on top of the bonnet.
What are the rules about obstruction of view in the rear window?
Yeah okay. If someone walks into a wing, they're a moron...
I dunno what’s more daft the rule about it hurting someone if the walk into it or someone putting a big wing on a corsa or fiesta 🤣
First thing... Why are they walking into my car?
Shouldn't worry about their eyes,they should have seen it 😅
Sorry officer but you're completely wrong on this one
Lied from the first sentence that come out his mouth 🤣🤣🤣
so for front wheel drive install the wing on the bonnet! Got it
There is too many d people in the road they will stick there eye in it
Please don't tell me Brits put spoilers on the likes of a Fiesta.
If someone walks into my car it's there own fault
Look where you walking and you won't walk into anything
This cop just roasting himself here or what?
Maybe don’t walk into peoples hard earned property
He's dying to laugh when he said clio 😂😂😂😂😂
He's just wrong about fwd!
Forks can hurt people we gonna ban them too??
